WHAT:
The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens celebrates National Pink Flamingo Day this Friday with specialty “flocktails” to kick off the final weekend to visit the fabulous Flamboyance! A Topiary Menagerie. Friday night, guests can enjoy dinner at the Cummer Cafe and toast a flocktail on the river in the stunning Museum gardens on Friday evening in celebration of Florida’s love for the iconically kitsch pink flamingo.
The exhibition features 50 pink topiary flamingos perched throughout the Museum gardens and is a playful riff on the plastic pink flamingo, a classic Floridian garden motif. Each of the nearly five-foot-tall topiaries sculptures have been named by “adoptive parents,” or “Flockstars,” as the Museum playfully refers to them, revealing each flamingo’s unique personality. Flamboyance! A Topiary Menagerie runs through Sunday, June 25.
