Candlelight Concert

Rock Anthems of the ’80s  |  Saturday, November 28

Imagine entering the Museum to find its historic aircraft illuminated by thousands of candles. Against this dramatic backdrop, a professional string quartet will perform some of the greatest rock anthems of the 1980s—familiar songs reimagined for an intimate and atmospheric evening.

The Candlelight Concert offers guests a rare after-hours experience that combines music, elegance, and the unmistakable scale of NORAM’s collection. The glow of candlelight will transform the Hercules Pavilion, creating refined setting for friends, couples, colleagues, and clients to begin the holiday season together.

This special fundraiser benefits NORAM and helps the Museum preserve aerospace history, care for its remarkable aircraft and artifacts, and create educational experiences that inspire curiosity and discovery. Sponsorship places your organization at the heart of an evening designed to be both memorable and meaningful.

Goose Lights

Three Weeks of Holiday Magic

Goose Lights returns this year, and sponsors can help bring the celebration to life for the community. The Museum’s exhibits in the Hercules Pavilion will be illuminated and decorated with dedicated themed areas. A space might evoke the whimsical world of The Nightmare Before Christmas, the warmth of a Dickens-inspired Christmas, or another creative concept developed for the season. These immersive areas offer sponsors a highly visible way to participate while giving families memorable settings to explore and enjoy.

Planned Seasonal Experiences

• Santa’s special arrival via helicopter followed by a chance to take-your-own photos with him in his workshop
• Sponsor-supported themed areas that add creativity and wonder to the Museum experience
• Holiday music and refreshments

Sponsor Connection

Because Holidays at the Hanger spans three weeks and includes several complementary experiences, sponsors can build repeated visibility with families and community members. Premier and Leadership sponsors may also receive a dedicated themed area and an opportunity for a branded presence within the holiday environment.

• Estimated guests: 10,000+
• Social media reach: 60,000+
• Direct email marketing to NORAM friends and supporters: 24,000+
