Luna Bar
This year, Luna brings Floriade’s “science and nature” theme to life through a botanical-inspired cocktail series—each drink a creative nod to natural processes like chromism, infusion, extraction, and clarification. Imagine cocktails that change hue with butterfly-pea and chamomile, others enveloped in aromatic smoke, some muddled with minty freshness, and one clarified with a punchy spice—each sip evoking a different scientific moment.
At our Floriade About Town activation, guests can step into Luna’s art-deco world and discover these four signature cocktails, thoughtfully inspired by science and nature— without overwhelming ingredient lists—served with discreet flair amid ambient lighting and luxe surroundings. As they taste, guests can expect to be transported into a sensory exploration, where each drink tells a story of nature’s alchemy.
On Saturdays, we elevate the experience with live Cabaret dancers swaying amidst the crowd, their performances intertwining with the rhythms spun by our DJs; it’s an immersive canvas of movement, mixology, and atmosphere. Expect elegant presentation, theatrical elements, and a vibrant yet refined energy that complements Floriade’s celebration of botanical wonder and scientific curiosity. Patrons can meander through luxe seating zones or gather at the bar to mingle, sip, and sample. Whether they’re drawn by nature, science, or sophisticated cocktails, Luna offers a theatrical, sensory-infused stop on the Floriade map—where creativity, discovery, and indulgence bloom together
