Details
Dance the night away with DJ sets, circus performances, and a monster costume contest for all those who love to dress up and are inspired by the mystery of… what lies beneath.
Just in time to celebrate a gifted and versatile maker, Tapio Wirkkala, whose exhibition will be on view at the Museum, Lagoon celebrates his belief that “all materials have their own unwritten laws…” Join this amazing conglomeration of contemporary artists, pop-up installations, creative collaboration, and our community’s wonderful waterways.
Ages 18+

Costume Guidelines:
Due to the nature of the Museum setting, costume guidelines include:
- No masks or face-covering accessories,
- Leave the props at home (no toy guns, swords, wands, staffs, brooms, etc.),
- Stick to costumes that don’t extend beyond your personal space, and
- Keep it tasteful and save the nudity for the art!
Or join the fun in your fiercest party look! Costumes are optional, but the dance floor is guaranteed.
