Cirque du CMOM

Fall in love with the power of play at the best party of the year.

Every day, the Children’s Museum of Memphis is alive with kids exploring the wonders of play. But for one extraordinary evening, the grown-ups take over, letting loose their inner child at Cirque du CMOM.

 

Enter a realm of outrageous whimsy as Cirque du CMOM becomes an Absurdly Campy spectacle on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 7 to 11 p.m. Savor inventive bites, sip imaginative cocktails, groove to Almost Elton John, try your luck at the sparkling diamond pull by Gattas Jewelers, and dance the night away at a silent disco. Arrive in your most outrageous, flamboyant, campy attire, where daring fun and playful elegance collide.

Early-bird tickets (until January 6): $125
General admission (after January 6): $175

VIP: $250 – Step into the Cirque du CMOM VIP Experience and let your evening soar to new heights. Revel in exclusive entry to a dazzling venue brimming with sparkling bubbly, handcrafted cocktails from a premium bar, and gourmet creations by Chef Jimmy Gentry of The Lobbyist and Paradox Catering. Savor espresso martinis from French Truck Coffee and indulge in decadent treats by Feast & Graze. Prepare for an unforgettable night of style and a hint of Met Gala enchantment.
