Events Calendar

Thursday night plans? Handled! This 18+ event is your chance to experience The Franklin Institute as an adult. Think rooftop sunsets, explosive experiments, and cocktails that hit just right.

Celebrate the art of transformation. Channel an alter ego or push fashion beyond its limit, this is your space to experiment without rules! From bold fashion to animal mimicry to playful imagination, explore the limitless creativity of becoming someone, or something, entirely new.  

It’s a celebration of cosmic proportions, and you’re all invited! Sip craft cocktails from local distilleries, enjoy rooftop stargazing by telescope, mesmerizing Planetarium shows, hands-on science demonstrations, live music, and more. It’s a night of history, taste, and wonder — all in honor of Repeal Day.

Join us for a full day of family friendly exclusive programming, hands-on activities, refreshments and live science shows – all for members only.  Whether you're a long-time member or just joined, we can't wait to celebrate with you!
