CINCINNATI — Get ready to party at the museum because the Cincinnati Museum Center is bringing back its after-hours events for adults in 2026.
The CMC After Hours series will have four different themed events for those 21 and older throughout the year.
The kid-free events give adults the perfect excuse to rediscover the Cincinnati Museum Center — but, this time, with a drink in hand if you'd like.
Attendees for any After Hours event are also encouraged to dress the part for each theme, with a costume contest awarding the best dressed. There will also be unique activities and programming at each event to go along with the themes, as well as a live DJ and karaoke. Cash bars around the museum will also have themed food and cocktails for guests.
This year's After Hours series is kicking off Thursday, Feb. 12, from 7-10 p.m., with After Hours: '80s Edition. The museum center said attendees can expect arcade games, karaoke and more.
"Break out the leg warmers, tease that hair and dust off your neon — it's time to party like it's 1985!" according to the museum's website.
Here's the full lineup for After Hours events:
- '80s Edition — Thursday, Feb. 12
- Sci-Fi Edition — Thursday, May 14
- Prom Edition — Thursday, Aug. 6
- Halloween Edition — Thursday, Oct. 22
