OKLAHOMA CITY — On Friday, June 26, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., kick off your summer with a one-of-a-kind night at the Oklahoma History Center that blends weird flavors, creative expression and Route 66!
At this program, guests aged 21 and over can sample three rounds of distinct cocktail/mocktail creations, featuring a distinctly strange Pops soda flavor. Each round invites guests to experience the adventurous spirit of roadside America in a whole new way.
Non-alcoholic options, water and light bites are also included with admission. Between tastings, guests are invited to create a collage using historic photographs, vintage-inspired materials and maps to design their own Route 66 postcard.
The museum’s newest exhibit, “The Longest Stretch: Route 66 in Oklahoma,” will also be open to tour throughout the evening. This program offers a relaxed, social environment that blends history with hands-on creativity and a bit of playful experimentation. Come for the drinks, stay for the history and leave with your own artwork!
Tickets are $15 for members of the Oklahoma Historical Society and $20 for non-members. Alcohol can only be served to those over age 21. Eating and drinking in the galleries is prohibited.
