Thursday Nights at the Museum

  • Forest Park Forever 5595 Grand Drive in Forest Park St. Louis, Mo 63112 (map)

Kick off your weekend at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park! Each Thursday Night at the Museum will be the most fun, engaging, uplifting, thought-provoking, perspective-shaping night of your week. And there are drinks. Join us starting at 5:30pm for happy hour and pop-up activities, such as brief tours, games, and performances. The main stage comes to life at 6:30pm, light appetizers and drinks are available for purchase until 7:00pm, and the Museum’s exhibits are open until 8:00pm for you to explore!

Centering their sound on the nylon-string guitar, St. Louis-based band Acoustik Element is best known for reinventing popular songs by artists such as the Beatles, Santana, and the Eagles while staying true to Latin and jazz standards. This concert will feature a blend of holiday and popular music with a Latin vibe.

Arrive early to make paper-bag luminaria and enjoy a winter-themed game of Stump the Historian with Community Tours Manager Amanda Clark. Don your best holiday sweater to be entered to win a private See STL Walking Tour for up to 5 people. Food and drinks will be available to purchase from Café St. Louis by Pure.
