Cocktails & Culture is the Witte Museum’s reimagined signature series of after-hours programs curated specifically for adults 21+. These programs for adults are designed to spark curiosity, build community and invite adults to experience the museum in unexpected ways.
Fully reimagined for 2026, this year brings together San Antonio’s creativity, curiosity, and community through four distinct event experiences—each with its own vibe, audience and way of exploring Texas nature, science and culture.
No longer a single event, Cocktails & Culture now serves as an umbrella for content-driven evenings that invite adults to discover the museum in unexpected ways. From hands-on art workshops to lively trivia competitions, intimate expert conversations, and vibrant night markets, every program offers a fresh perspective on the Witte’s exhibitions, collections and stories.
Rooted in meaningful content and elevated by local partnerships, Cocktails & Culture transforms the museum’s galleries and gardens into immersive after-dark gathering spaces. Whether you’re coming for a date night, a creative adventure or a lively night with friends, Cocktails & Culture delivers experiences that are smart, stylish, and social.
Wander the museum after-hours through a lively, evening of cocktails, shopping, and culture. Discover the Bolner Family Museum Store and gain access exclusive artist collaborations, and local vendors, while offering guests a relaxed and social environment in a way only the Witte can deliver.
