Garden Piano Walk At Golden Gate Park

Hey music lovers,

The 11th annual Flower Piano festival returns to the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park. Flower Piano is an 11-day outdoor festival that places 12 pianos across the 55-acre San Francisco Botanical Garden. It blends professional performances across multiple musical genres with open-play opportunities where anyone in the public can sit down and play.

Come spend a beautiful afternoon with me walking under the giant shade trees and discovering hidden live music throughout the blooming botanical gardens. We'll kick things off with about an hour of app-guided chats to break the ice, while being immersed by the tunes.

We'll start the afternoon getting to know each other through quick, one-on-one rounds where the Gist IRL app matches you up so the conversation flows easily. It's a really laid-back way to meet new friends. Once we finish chatting, you'll select the folks you clicked with the most and go explore the rest of the beautiful gardens and grab some food.

The Plan:

- 4:30 PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 4:35 PM - 5:55 PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you up for focused chats. We'll find out who shares your favorite green spaces, music genres, and festival vibes. - 5:55 PM+: Form Groups. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and head into the botanical garden to and grab a drink at the meadow lounge together. Your group leaves together for the afternoon.

The goal here isn't just to add names to your phone—it's to actually form connections.

Plus, if you want to keep the momentum going after the music stops, you can easily message your new friends through the app without ever needing to swap personal phone numbers.

I really can't wait to share a relaxing afternoon of melodies and greenery with you.
