CANCELED: UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden Clarkia Festival

May 18 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

This year’s Clarkia Festival, set to take place on May 18, 2024, is canceled

If you were planning to attend the Clarkia Festival on May 18, we encourage you to visit the Gathering at Kuruvungna, the Clark Library’s Bookish Biomes event, and the Natural History Museum’s Bug Fair instead. 

The UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden will have a wonderful Clarkia Festival next spring, and many other public programs throughout the year where you can celebrate nature in community. For now, we hope you can find peace and healing by visiting the Garden. 

We look forward to seeing you at the Garden and at the 2025 Clarkia Festival.

Sincerely,

The UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden Team
