The Pru will be in full bloom with the arrival of a global-themed floral showcase called Fleurs de Villes Voyage. This is the first time this traveling art display will visit Boston.

The bespoke fresh-floral experience features 16 one-of-a-kind mannequins created by local florists, including Bloom Couture Floral Haus, Floristika, Poppy Floral, and Rococo Floral Co., just to name a few. Each will be inspired by the cultures, people, and heritage of countries around the world. Think: China’s Lantern Festival, Bermuda’s island vibe + Ireland’s cultural scene. There will also be free floral demonstrations led by local florists on Saturday, Nov. 4.

The free exhibit will be on display from Thursday, Nov. 2 to Monday, Nov. 6 at Prudential Center. Take a self-guided journey using the map available at the Pru’s Concierge Desk.

Bonus: Take the Fleurs de Villes VOYAGE map for a 15% discount on standard admission to View Boston.

From the editor
While we are talking about upcoming foodie events — if you missed the first monthly Beer Dinner at Time Out Market, you have the chance for redemption. It was the perfect combination of beer education and samplings from Trillium, paired with four courses from Taqueria El Barrio.

November’s Beer Dinner will feature pours from Mighty Squirrel Brewing and eats from Michael Schlow’s Italian Kitchen on Thursday, Nov. 16. Proceeds will support the Greg Hill Foundation, so dig in knowing you’re eating for a cause.
