Details
Close out the Whet Thursday season with Whale Watch on the Bluff! Guests can enjoy demonstrations in the Smithy and Foundry, create beaded Whale Watch keychains in the Learning Space, and try their luck at “catching a whale” with interactive activities on the grounds. As the sun begins to set, keep an eye on the Mississippi River—the whales are expected to swim by just before dusk. Live music will be provided by The Late Greats, a Memphis string band playing an eclectic mix of bluegrass, folk, country, and more. Flipside Asia will be on site with their menu of favorites, and The Tipsy Tumbler will provide bar service throughout the evening.
