Bourbon & Bubbles - Dayton Art Institute

November 7, 2025

Bourbon & Bubbles is back! Kickstart the holiday season with us at this unique celebration!

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 | 7:30 p.m.

Celebrate with an artsy cocktail party in the beautiful setting of the museum’s Shaw Gothic Cloister and Great Hall. Bourbon & Bubbles features a selection of exclusive, handcrafted bourbons and refreshing bubbly from around the world, plus gourmet bites, tasty treats and fun entertainment. A wide variety of samples will be offered, including several rare whiskeys. Tickets for the event include up to eight bourbon and/or sparkling wine tastings. A cash bar also offers bourbons, sparkling wine and specialty cocktails.

Cocktail attire is encouraged; this year’s Bourbon & Bubbles décor is inspired by the Broadway-show-turned-film-phenomenon, Wicked, so feel free to don your best Emerald City green, Galinda pink, or similar ensemble.
Refrain from cosmetics, hair products, and/or clothing that contain glitter in any form. Sequins are permitted. Glitter is incredibly dangerous to art objects.
