The American Peony Society’s 2025 Annual Convention will be a unique celebration of peonies, education, art, music, and food, crowned with the national flower show and exhibition. The event, which will be held in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin – has been developed in collaboration with the Wisconsin Arts & Peony Festival, the Beaver Dam Chamber of Commerce, and the State of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Peony Society. APS thanks all of these organizations for their wonderful contributions.
The city offers a unique and diverse experience for attending members and the public, with a small “hometown” atmosphere and many arts and entertainment experiences. Beaver Dam has embraced “the peony” as a focal point for its annual Wisconsin Arts and Peony Festival. This is a wonderful platform to enjoy the festival and share our love and knowledge of peonies with the public.
Educational Seminars (6+ this year) and the Flower Show will be held at Beaver Dam High School on June 14 & 15 and is open to both members and the public.
For members staying at the Comfort Inn & Suites the venue is within walking distance (less than a mile) at the beautiful and modern Beaver Dam High School (BDHS). A number of travel tours to nearby gardens and attractions have been arranged to round out an “Wisconsin Experience” on Thursday and Friday morning. A member banquet, specialty peony auction and awards presentations round out the convention for attendees. We should also mention the great enjoyment that members experience through social gatherings and meals!
