“Where Science Meets Cocktails” returns on Oct. 16, promising a night where food, drinks and science collide.

Vendors from some of Edmonton’s top restaurants will be serving gourmet hors d’oeuvres while cocktail tastings will be provided by expert vendors and distillers.

All of the galleries will be accessible during the event – including the Jurassic World by Brickman Lego exhibition.

Hands-on cocktail-inspired science experiments and challenges will be available for patrons to participate in. There will also be “explosive” science demos and liquid nitrogen treats.

The TWOSE will also host live music and entertainment, as well as a silent auction.

“This year’s fundraiser means more than ever to our charitable organization,” said Constance Scarlett, president and CEO of TWOSE. “Every ticket to ‘Where Science Meets Cocktails’ helps us recover from the ongoing impacts of the fire we experienced at our facility in January while also supporting programs that make science accessible and inspiring for all.”+
