Party with the sea stars at the Aquarium of the Pacific’s Noche de Estrellas (Night of the Stars) event. The Aquarium will remain open until 11:00 p.m., so you can dance under the sea stars to the sounds of cumbia, rock en Español, salsa, mariachi, and other rhythms and explore ocean wonders.

Noche de Estrellas will feature live bands, Mexica drumming and dance, a DJ, booths by participating organizations, and educational programming in English and Spanish, including an ocean-themed lotería game with prizes and a scavenger hunt to collect a trading card. Food, coffee, beers, and drinks will be available for purchase. Guests can journey through the Pacific Ocean to meet over 12,000 animals, including sharks they can touch.
