Wicked!
Let’s have a Wicked Time in Support of the SLO Children’s Museum
Friday, October 10, 2025 | 6–10pm
at the San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum
Every Fall since 2008, supporters and friends of the Children’s Museum have gathered to celebrate the previous year and raise funds for the exhibits and programs to come.
This year, we’re expecting 150 guests join us for a Wicked/Wizard of Oz costume party on October 10th. Think lively games, a silent disco, dinner prepared by Café Roma, karaoke, a live auction filled with experiences, and unexpected twists throughout the evening.
Purchase your tickets here (we usually sell out!), plan your outfit, and wear comfy shoes. We’re going to have a WICKED time!
