Our summer Patio Parties are back outside on Ella’s Patio – the museum’s pre-Covid hot spot for fun. Enjoy a cash bar along with delicious specialties from local caterers while listening to live music. Plus, this season’s parties welcomes special guests with unique perspectives on history, science and the arts in the Jackson community.

A cash bar is also available. This event has ended, but photos are coming soon!

Musical guest The Detroit Social Club along with Brightwalls’ Board Member, Clay McAndrews, will energize August’s Patio Party scene with ‘Creative Change in the Community.’ A cash bar will be available and Sylvia’s Catering says, “Come hungry to this artistic happy hour.”This event has ended, but photos are coming soon!
September 29
We can’t imagine a better way to close out Ella’s summer patio parties and welcome fall than with special guest Astrophysicist, Travis Marlow. Enjoy catering from Fazolis – mmmm: spaghetti – along with a cocktail from the Patio’s cash bar. Relax to the musical stylings of Steve Berkemeier, and view the stars with our telescopes.
