Member Shopping Night

Be the first to unwrap the magic of the season with this member-exclusive after-hours retail event.

Each year, we work to expand the offerings of Member Shopping Night to bring you even more cheer! Come enjoy refreshments and live festive music while you shop both our museum store and an array of guest vendors and small businesses. With exclusive access to a large stock of our limited-edition handcrafts and unique gifts, plus a double discount (20%) on eligible retail products in the museum store, you're sure to find something for everyone on your list (or even yourself!).

Secure your spot at this exclusive event by registering. Space is limited, and this festive gathering promises to be a highlight of the holiday season. We can't wait to share the magic with you!

Please note that Member Shopping Night takes place in the Welcome Center, Promenade, and Plum Market Kitchen. All other venues at The Henry Ford will be closed during the event.
