Fortified by a signature cocktail, local wine, and delectable appetizers and dessert, you’ll play games and seek your fortune on a progressive experience through the heart of the Museum’s historic campus. Departing from the Museum courtyard at sunset, you’ll voyage through the classic Earth and Marine Science exhibits. Pass within a tentacle’s length of the lifelike Giant Squid, revel around the bones of Channel Islands mammoths, and stroll the banks of Mission Creek. 

End the evening with a dance party in beautiful Fleischmann Auditorium—reimagined as Poseidon’s Court—where local legend DJ Darla Bea will curate a deep-sea disco of classic tracks. Like last year, the costume contest is sure to showcase your amazing creativity—and reward the best-dressed guests with fabulous prizes.

This Halloween fundraiser supports the Museum’s work connecting people to nature for the betterment of both. Generously sponsored by Arlington Financial Advisors, Hub International, and ivan.bar. In-kind support with donations from Matilija Water, Cutler’s Artisan Spirits, Events by Rincon, and The Lark.

This event is for ages 21+
