Ella’s Patio Party Series
Thursday, September 17th, 2026
Three summer nights. Three unique museum locations. One fun way to enjoy Ella Sharp Museum after hours.
Join us for the Ella’s Patio Party Series, a summertime event series featuring live music, small bites, a cash bar, yard games, and an evening with friends, family, and the museum community. Each Patio Party will take place in a different location on the Ella Sharp Museum campus, giving guests a new way to enjoy the museum grounds all summer long.
Bring your friends, make it a date night, or come as a family. Kids can be dropped off at the Planetarium for shows and activities during the event, and adults are welcome to enjoy the Planetarium too.
Guests may purchase tickets for one Patio Party or save by purchasing tickets for all three events. Table reservations are also available for guests who want a reserved spot to gather, relax, and enjoy the evening.
