IGNITE THE NIGHT: FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
MCM Partners is thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable evening—Ignite the Night: From Sea to Shining Sea, presented by BankPlus on February 14, 2026! Guests will enjoy a coast-to-coast culinary journey, savoring the signature flavors of the East, Gulf, and West Coasts and all points in between—each inspired by iconic destinations—set against dazzling entertainment and the timeless glamour of Americana. More than just an evening out, this is a unique opportunity to experience the museum alive with music, flavor, and celebration while supporting a cause that transforms young lives.
ABOUT IGNITE THE NIGHT
Every February, adults are given permission to play after hours at the Mississippi Children’s Museum (MCM) during its signature fundraising event, Ignite the Night. Each gallery comes to life with festive food, mesmerizing music, and amusing activities. Hosted by the Mississippi Children’s Museum Partners, a group of volunteers and donors who support the museum, this is not your typical party. It is imaginative, entertaining, and, most importantly, fun!
SUPPORTING OUR MISSION
By supporting Ignite the Night, you are helping the museum in its mission to create unparalleled experiences to inspire excellence and a lifelong joy of learning for all children. Proceeds from the event provide critical funding for the museum’s operations including for programs like Launch into Learning which provide afterschool care for students affected by learning loss during the pandemic.
