Sloan Museum of Discovery and Longway Planetarium’s 7th annual Mix and Mingle Under the Stars will take place at Longway Planetarium on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm. Enjoy tastes of local food, cocktails, ciders, wine, and beer served up by Genesee County’s favorite chefs and brewers. This casual, fun event will also feature a silent auction.
