This “see-and-be-seen” event will be held in the James S. McDonnell Planetarium at the Saint Louis Science Center in Forest Park.

Last year’s inaugural event provided more than 250 attendees with a much-needed break from the winter blues. This year’s event will feature Marty Morrison & Friends featuring Jason Swagler, Adam Maness, and Bob DeBoo with special guest Erin Bode! Drummer Morrison has established himself as one of the most in-demand jazz drummers in the St. Louis area and Bode was dubbed the “most magnificent solo performer on the planet” by the BBC following her latest album, A Cold December Night.

Enjoy food (including Rue Lafayette), drinks (from Barefoot Wine, Square One Brewery and Distillery, and Augusta Brewing Company), live music and the beauty of the great outdoors with two star shows throughout the evening, all while staying toasty warm. Claire Kellett, co-anchor of Awake with News 4, will emcee the evening.

Tickets: $30. Includes three drink tickets, heavy appetizers, and complimentary valet parking. Tickets are available online here and by phone at 314-289-4491.
