Hancock Whitney Sea of Stars

The 2024 edition of Hancock Whitney Sea of Stars to benefit the Mississippi Aquarium is Thursday, October 24 and it promises to be the party of the year! This year’s theme is "Let’s Glow for it!" and by “it” we mean raising $125,000 to benefit the amazing work being done at the Mississippi Aquarium. We have revised our sponsorship and attendance packages to make them more affordable and enhance them with new features, including more parking passes, Aquarium tickets and social media shoutouts for your family or company.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of gourmet dining, bespoke cocktails, and the best party band out of New Orleans, The Chee-Weez. Dress business casual with a touch of neon and anything else that will glow in the black lights! Your presence and generosity will ensure that future generations can marvel at the wonders of our oceans right here in Mississippi.
