The Franklin Institute's iconic halls will transform into a star-studded soiree next month as part of its Science After Hours series. On December 5th, "Celestial Sips" promises to be an evening of adulting with a dash of science and socializing.
Grown-ups who enjoy the intersection of curiosity and revelry can look forward to a night that combines cocktails from local distilleries with breathtaking views of the stars through telescopes. Chief astronomer Derrick Pitts and musician Keegan Tawa will take guests on a journey through planetarium shows, guiding them to explore the celestial wonders above.
Meanwhile, interactive demos by the Monell Chemical Senses Center and the Penn Soft Earth Dynamics Lab inject an element of fun and education into the night. The trivia group Facts Machine will have the crowd in stitches with its science-themed game show, adding a lighthearted touch to the evening.
In celebration of this special event, Wissahickon Brewing Co. has crafted a unique beer exclusively for "Celestial Sips." Tickets are priced at $40 for general admission, with members getting a discounted rate of $35.
The Franklin Institute's rooftop deck will be abuzz with music by DJ Bobby Flowers, whose set list is inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. While there's no strict dress code, guests are encouraged to add some sparkle to their outfits, fitting for an evening that promises to shine brighter than the stars themselves.
Those looking forward to this unique experience must be 21 years or older and purchase tickets in advance. Food will be available for purchase, making it easy to mingle and enjoy the festivities throughout the night.
