Get ready for an enchanting evening as the Maine Museum of Innovation, Learning and Labor (Maine MILL) invites you to the second annual Soirée en Blanc on Friday, Jul. 26 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Peck Building in downtown Lewiston. This sit-down dinner event promises an unforgettable night of music, food, fun and a visit from Santa.

Santa? Yes, the theme of this year’s Soiree is “White Christmas in July,” marrying the wonder of Christmas with the warmth of summer in one of Lewiston’s most iconic buildings. Peck’s department store was where everyone went see the beloved Christmas displays and to catch a glimpse of Santa. For one night, that magic will be back.

The gala will include a sit-down dinner under a blanket of twinkling lights, dancing to melodies old and new, one-of-a-kind silent auction items and photo ops with Mr. Claus himself, who will be donning his finest white suit.

Tickets are limited and can be purchased on Eventbite. This is a 21+ event. All proceeds will support the museum’s mission and the many told and untold stories of Maine people
