Pullen Park will offer an evening event for adults aged 18 and older on May 21, featuring art activities and a signature mocktail, according to an announcement released April 23. The event, called “Pullen Park After Dark: Mocktails & Masterpieces,” is scheduled from 6 to 8:30 p.m., with tickets priced at $40 per person.
The program gives participants the chance to create four different hands-on art projects at their own pace while enjoying the park after hours. Each ticket includes one non-alcoholic signature drink and a ride on the historic carousel. Organizers say the evening is designed for both experienced crafters and those looking for a relaxed night out in a unique setting.
Attendees can expect each craft station to offer something “fun, beautiful, or delightfully memorable.” The city describes this as an opportunity to “unleash creative energy, socialize, and enjoy Pullen Park after hours” in what it calls a rare experience.
