Your Guide to the Festival
Start with the Interactive Map
The festival map brings everything together in one place.

(2027 map coming soon!)
Free parking is available along First Street, at Arts Benicia, and at the Museum of History Benicia. Hop the complimentary vintage trolley and let it carry you through the full day — no car required.
Look for the oversized floral installations and drifting bubbles — they mark every participating location along the Blossom Trail. Follow them downtown and discover what’s blooming inside.
The art is just the beginning. Stay for the waterfront, cafés, wine bars, shops, and music. Wander the historic streets, find a corner table, and let the afternoon stretch. Benicia will fill the day.
