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 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 and shop are open until 8:00pm for you to explore!

CONCERT AND COCKTAIL
Join us for a quick drink and some live music before you head out to the park to hear the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra perform on Art Hill. The first recorded cocktail party was held in 1917, not in New York or San Francisco, but at 4510 Lindell Boulevard, St. Louis. The hostess was Mrs. Clara Bell Walsh, and one of the many novelties introduced at her one-hour party was people standing, rather than sitting, while they drank and socialized. On this afternoon, you can grab a seat, a cocktail, and a snack while a quartet from the Confluence Chamber Orchestra plays music from the 1904–1917 period, featuring songs by Scott Joplin, Claude Debussy, Florence Price, and many others.
