Mid-America Science Museum (MASM) will host its 25th annual Taste of the Holidays fundraiser Thursday, November 19, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the museum, 500 Mid America Blvd.
The event will feature food and beverages from more than 20 local restaurants, breweries, and caterers, along with a silent auction featuring travel packages, entertainment, merchandise, and other experiences. Proceeds support the museum’s interactive exhibits and educational programs.
“For 25 years, Taste of the Holidays has brought our community together to support science education,” said Noreen Killen, interim CEO of MASM.
“We’ve come a long way in that time, adding new exhibits, reaching more students and earning national accreditation. Events like this help us continue growing and bringing new experiences to the families we serve.”
Participating vendors include Vault, Dining at NPC, Destiny’s Bakeshop, Secret Handshake, and The Waters. Silent auction items include an Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort package, a Mountain Harbor getaway, round-trip airline tickets from Southern Airlines, and other donated experiences.
The event is presented by Ellis & Moore, CPAs, with major sponsorship support from Oaklawn Hot Springs and AAR.
General admission is $115 per person, and tables of six are $850. Tickets are available at midamericamuseum.org/shop/events/taste-of-the-holidays.
The museum will be closed to the public Wednesday, November 18, and Thursday, November 19, for event preparations. It will reopen at noon Friday, November 20.
