Field Museum Soiree at the Gala

About this event series

Enjoy a night of music, dancing, and science with other young professionals at the Field Associates' annual fundraiser.

Sponsorships and tickets

This unforgettable night at the Field Museum was hosted by the Field Associates Young Professionals’ Board!

The Soiree at the Gala (formerly EVOLVE) is a vibrant evening of music, dancing, and science, tailored for Chicago's young professionals and hosted by the Field Museum's Young Professionals Board. Proceeds from the event support the Museum’s community programs, exhibitions, groundbreaking scientific research, and more!

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, Soiree guests enjoyed signature cocktails and curated hors d'oeuvres during a special reception with exclusive after-hours access to the Museum’s exhibitions. Following the reception, they joined the Board of Trustees and Women's Board of the Field Museum in Stanley Field Hall for dessert, a top-shelf open bar, and dancing. Throughout the evening, guests were invited to explore more exhibitions and bid on exclusive items and experiences in the silent auction.

Be on the lookout as we secure our 2025 date! The Soiree at the Gala is 21+.

The Soiree at the Gala is presented as part of the Field Museum Gala. Click here to learn more about other Gala opportunities.
