Blossoms & Bids: A Magical Evening at the 2023 Noblesville Bridge of Flowers Gala
The “Noblesville Bridge of Flowers Gala” held on September 16, 2023 was a spectacular evening held on the historic Logan Street Pedestrian Bridge, which now boasts a breathtaking new feature: the Bridge of Flowers. This vibrant addition to downtown Noblesville has transformed the bridge into a seasonal showcase of floral beauty, with installations that change through Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Guests enjoyed a dinner served on the bridge itself, with traffic halted for the special occasion. A live orchestra added to the ambiance, setting the perfect tone for this fundraising event. However, Mother Nature had other plans, as dark clouds rolled in and the weather looked increasingly ominous. Quick-thinking host Sylvia Gordon (daughter of Fundraising Chair Dick Gordon) didn’t miss a beat, starting the fundraising auction during dinner. While the orchestra had to leave due to the weather, Sylvia led the auction with flair, selling beautiful art and generous donations from sponsors. The result? Thousands of dollars raised to support the continued beauty of the Bridge of Flowers.
Despite the weather’s unpredictability, the evening was a shining success, filled with community spirit, charm, and an unforgettable celebration of this new floral landmark in Noblesville.
