Join us on Friday, November 13, 2026 where the Mississippi meets the Gulf in New Orleans! Get ready for a fun evening of great food, cocktails and interactive entertainment in our interpretation of the Big Easy!
The St. Louis Aquarium Foundation offers educational programming for kids to learn about aquatic animals, think critically about conservation issues, and participate in fun STEM-based activities and projects. Through the H2O Friends program, the Foundation provides free access to the St. Louis Aquarium and STEM-based conservation and aquatic life education for youth from Title I schools as well as other underserved community partners. 100% of funds raised at this event will go to support the H2O Friends program!
