This all-ages evening combines reggae and worldbeat with after-hours exploration of the Aquarium. Six-piece band Joseph General & High Vibration takes the Festival Green Stage at 7 p.m.; gates open at 6 p.m. Families may bring a picnic and spend the rest of the evening dancing, exploring and visiting hands-on learning stations.
The Aquarium remains open during the event, with exhibits featuring sharks and rays. Discovery activities examine shark jaws, fins, skin and other adaptations, along with hands-on experiments about buoyancy and swimming efficiency.
Caribbean-inspired meals will be available with jerk chicken, pork or oxtail, fried plantains, rice and peas, and flatbread. A lounge upgrade includes a peach-melba raspberry rosé Bellini or a nonalcoholic version. BioPark Society members must show a current membership card and ID to receive the discount. Tickets are sold by the City; refunds are unavailable unless specifically announced, while exchanges depend on availability.
