Join us Thursday\, July 23 at 6pm at Tom Nevers Field for a Night at the Circus and experience an evening of magic\, marvels\, and wonder at the MMA&rsquo\;s Stargazer Gala.
\n\nInspired by the fearless spirit of curiosity and discovery that defined Maria Mitchell&mdash\;America&rsquo\;s first professional female astronomer&mdash\;this extraordinary evening brings the joy of exploration to life through breathtaking performances\, lively celebration\, and unforgettable enchantment.
\n\nThis year\, the MMA welcomes Venardos Circus\, a dazzling Broadway-style production under an intimate big-top tent. Be amazed by world-class acrobats\, breathtaking aerialists\, and dazzling jugglers as moments of humor\, heart\, and spectacle come together in a show-stopping performance.
\n\nThe Stargazer Gala begins with elevated &ldquo\;Big Top&rdquo\; bites and curated concessions by Island Kitchen\, alongside &ldquo\;Celestial Cocktails&rdquo\; crafted just for the occasion. A roaming magician\, fortune tellers\, and a whimsical wishing tree add a touch of mystique\, setting the stage for a night like no other.
\n\nThe night then unfolds into a show-stopping circus performance\, followed by live and silent auctions. After the performance\, the celebration continues with live music by the Hess Twins\, as guests take to the dance floor beneath the stars\, immersed in the thrill and wonder of Opening Night.
\n\nThis is an exclusive\, ticketed event you won&rsquo\;t want to miss&mdash\;where elegance\, spectacle\, and imagination collide under the big top.
\n\nAll proceeds from the Stargazer Gala support the MMA&rsquo\;s Internship Program\, advancing its mission to inspire a lifelong passion for science through education\, research\, and hands-on exploration of Nantucket&rsquo\;s sky\, land\, and sea. Each year\, the MMA serves more than 20\,000 learners\, helping to cultivate the next generation of scientists and environmental stewards.
\n\nStep right up\, tickets are disappearing under the big top!
