1111 Gough Street • San Francisco, CA 94109 • Get directions »

Flowers have been used throughout the decades to decorate and enhance the beauty of this architectural wonder atop Cathedral Hill. Floral designers and arrangers from throughout the Bay Area will come together for this event to create a breathtaking feast of color and scent.

The array of magnificent displays will reflect both the splendor of the great bronzes by Italian sculptors, Enrico Manfrini and Mario Rudelli, and the great soaring nineteen story interior. The floral offerings will add to the peace and simplicity of the entire worship space. A kaleidoscope of colors will meet visitors from the first moment that they enter the great Cathedral doors until they leave.
