Looking for something to do this May? Check out The May Flower Initiative in Downtown SLO. The May Flower Initiative aims to bring hope to the community through art. Enjoy local art as you take a stroll around downtown. We celebrate 87 artist-decorated windows by 75 artists.
While you enjoy the art, make sure to check out the Mission Plaza Pop-Up program. The Plaza Pop-Up activates the historic Mission Plaza with installations and decorations to activate the community and celebrate the arts.
Take a selfie in the interactive floral picture frame selfie station pod created by Karson Butler Events, featuring butterflies from the Cal Poly Rose Float Team.
