Stargazer Gala

The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association’s annual fundraising event (formerly the Red Tie Soiree) has been reinvented as the Stargazer Gala, a fun, exciting event overlooking beautiful Nantucket Sound. The Stargazer Gala will be held on July 9th from 7:00-10:00 pm at a private residence on Hulbert Avenue. There will be Cisco Brewery cocktails, games, dancing, delicious food catered by Island Kitchen, the sound of waves, sunset, and ample time to explore the skies above. Tickets will be available beginning in May at mariamitchell.org. For more information or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities, please call 508-228-9198. The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) is a private non-profit organization. Founded in 1902, the MMA works to preserve the legacy of Nantucket native astronomer, naturalist, librarian, and educator, Maria Mitchell. The Maria Mitchell Association operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, a research center, and preserves the historic birthplace of Maria Mitchell. A wide variety of science and history-related programming is offered throughout the year for people of all ages.
