Shake it up at Martinis to the MAX!

By Lori Arguello, Director of Marketing
Putnam Museum and IMAX Theatre, Davenport

WHAT: Martinis to the MAX!
WHEN: 5-8:30pm, the third Thursday of the month
WHERE: Putnam IMAX in Davenport
COST: $20 (Putnam members pay $15). Includes Martini Party with food, IMAX, and a light up martini!

What do you get when you combine breathtaking Mississippi River views with light-up martinis and a six-story IMAX screen? Martini to the MAX! Each month, the scenic Lardner Balcony at the IMAX is transformed into the best after-work cocktail party around! Add to that a different IMAX film each month, along with fabulous food, and you have a must-attend event! It’s martinis, movies, and maximum fun!

The party kicks off at 5 p.m. each month (January through November) with fabulous food and a full bar on the IMAX balcony. Each guest receives a light-up martini glass and a drink ticket good for any beverage at the full bar. The movie is shown two times during the event: at 6pm and 7pm. Guests have the choice of attending either, both, or neither show – some choose to keep the party going on the balcony! Food and drink are allowed in the theatre for this special event. The party concludes at 8:30pm. 

The cost is just $15 for Putnam members and $20 for non-member and includes food, a light-up martini, an IMAX movie, and a great balcony party! Reservation are required by 5pm the Tuesday before each Martinis, and may be made via email (arguello@putnam.org), online (www.putnam.org/martinis) or by phone (563) 324-1054, ext. 219. Payment can be made in advance or at the door.
