The Carle After Dark
First Thursdays 4–7 pm
October 2026–June 2027
Pay as You Wish!
Discover The Carle in a whole new light! Join us on the first Thursday of each month, when the Museum transforms into a playground of wonder—celebrating storytelling, color, and art.
Join us after hours and bring your friends. Each month unveils a new adventure: peering into the cosmos, gathering for storytelling, singing into the stars, and celebrating picture books.
Enjoy art making, lively performances and activities, and whimsical themed drinks as we gather at a place where community, imagination, and story come alive.
We can’t wait to see you!
All Museum spaces are open during this time. See a list of events and activities below.
