The fourth annual Secret Summer, a farm-to-bar cocktail festival, took place August 12 at the Foundry in Long Island City in New York. Hangar 1 Vodka featured a hanging herb wall, inviting guests to garnish their lavender lemonade cocktails. The festival was produced by Tyler Hollinger of HighLife Productions, Andrew Maturana of hospitality company Rapt NY, and Alison DuVal of the Foundry.

Elderflower liqueur brand St-Germain held its second annual summer soiree July 10 at Little Beach House Malibu. Production designer Marla Weinhoff created 1,000 LED “flowers,” meant to resemble the 1,000 elderflowers used in every bottle of St-Germain.
