North Shore Children’s Museum’s Grown-Ups Gala

North Shore Children’s Museum’s first official Grown-Ups Gala

Join us for North Shore Children’s Museum’s first official Grown-Ups Gala on Friday, May 17, 2024, at the Black Box Theater in Peabody. This special evening is the signature fundraising event for our newly created 501c3, Friends of North Shore Children’s Museum, which provides critical funding for the museum’s income-based admission prices, educational exhibits, and robust and accessible program offerings. 

Guests will enjoy delicious food from Toscana's Ristorante, signature drinks, games, an exciting live auction with special guest emcee Katie Thompson of Channel 5, and more! We invite you to dress up for a cocktail party that benefits your little one’s favorite place to play and learn.

Since opening in October 2022, we’ve welcomed over 45,000 visitors to our space at 10 Main Street in Peabody. As the only children’s museum in northeast Massachusetts, access is a fundamental part of our mission, and we are proud to welcome 25% of our visitors for free or at a discount. Your support is vital and we hope you will join us on May 17th! 

Tickets are on sale now at https://www.nschildrensmuseum.org/events/grownupsgala
