Friday, October 3rd, 2025, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Join us for a night of fundraising on Mount Olympus inspired by stories of Greek Mythology. Presented by RoyOMartin, Knock Knock Children’s Museum’s annual Storybook Soiree keeps the magic of playful learning alive for kids in our community. This highly anticipated event supports Knock Knock Children’s Museum’s programs, initiatives, and facility enhancements, and we need your support!
Prepare to party like the gods for a good cause as we embark on an epic odyssey—sip from multiple open bars, feast on divine bites from Baton Rouge’s top restaurants, dance the night away with DJ Bird, bid on treasures in our curated live and silent auctions, and test your skills with games fit for the fiercest Olympians.
Greek myths impart the importance of arts, science, storytelling, and community. Knock Knock Children’s Museum celebrates these through its mission by creating engaging and playful learning experiences that spark a lifelong love of learning.
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and we have many options to chose from, so please support us!
