This event for adults age 21 and up is one of the Museum’s largest fundraisers of the year.

This event sells out every year. Be sure to purchase your tickets early to take part in this longstanding tradition enjoyed by friends of the Museum for over three decades! All food and beverages—plus a commemorative wineglass—are included in the ticket price.
