2026 Blue Moon Fundraiser

Celebrate at the Museum with an evening of entertainment and refreshment in the spirit of Wichita’s long-gone Blue Moon Nightclub.

Internationally renowned jazz singer Donna Tucker and her fabulous band will be on stage for a dazzling evening of jazz classics.
While you are at the Museum, enjoy all it has to offer in Heritage Square and throughout the galleries.
