Passport to the Garden is more than a gala— it’s a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and community. As the Museum of Arts & Sciences' biggest fundraiser of the year, this elegant evening helps us fulfill our mission: to inspire exploration in art, science, and history and elevate the cultural experience of Volusia County.
Guests will enjoy signature cocktails, a chef-crafted dinner, music and entertainment, and a transformed museum setting that brings the beauty of a secret garden to life. From interactive elements to curated design touches, Passport is immersive, imaginative, and impactful.
Proceeds from this event support vital MOAS programs like our Summer Learning Institute, Sensory Sundays, Free First Tuesdays, and year-round exhibitions that make culture accessible to everyone.
Let these memories spark your imagination—and remind you that when a community gathers for a cause, incredible things bloom.
