The California Academy of Sciences will host its annual Gala and Party After Dark on April 23, 2015. This unforgettable evening is the opportunity to let loose in a stunning, iconic setting while raising a glass to bright minds making remarkable contributions to the field of science education—a topic at the heart of the Academy’s mission to explore, explain, and sustain life. And we're giving away two tickets to the event! Just sign up for our newsletter below to enter.

In addition to dessert and an open bar of inspired libations, gala and Party After Dark guests will rock out to electrifying entertainment, including live DJ set by Toro y Moi and a 90s-themed silent disco spun by DJ J. Espinosa of Wild 94.9. Party After Dark also features photo booths, light projections, and gourmet food trucks, including cult favorite The Chairman Truck (inspired bao) and El Sur (savory empanadas)—all under a living roof.
