Join us for an enchanting evening of cultural exploration at the Pablo Center's annual fundraiser: "A Night at the Bazaar." Step into a world of vibrant colors, authentic cuisine, and lively entertainment as we transform our venue into a bustling marketplace, vibrant nightclubs, and a casino.

This one-of-a-kind experience will transport you to North Africa with the warmth of spices, delectable food, and drink included with your ticket purchase. Savor the culinary creativity of Brewing Projekt, XA Bistro, Herbivorous Butcher, Ansari’s, Olson’s Ice Cream, Firetruck Pizza, and K’s Shawarma. Enjoy North African-themed dishes, pizza, beer/cocktails, and ice cream available for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Our entire lobby will be transformed into a bustling marketplace featuring North African-inspired goods from over a dozen local artisans, as well as leather goods and wares from small family craftsmen imported directly from Africa.

Throughout the evening, immerse yourself in the rhythms and melodies of live music from groups such as Ensemble Shamaali and The Arab Blues. Try your luck at the tables while enjoying captivating performances from The Jahwaahir Dance Company in the JAMF Theater. Enjoy local jazz on the RCU stage, or grab that dauber for a chance at some top-notch prizes in the Riverfront Room with Bingo and many other games of chance and fortune throughout the night.

Bid on private chef experiences, travel, concert tickets, and much more in our silent and live auctions. Cash in your casino profits for a chance to win amazing raffle prizes. "A Night at the Bazaar" is not only an opportunity to revel in the richness of global culture but also a chance to make a meaningful impact. Your support helps sustain the Pablo Center's mission of fostering creativity, diversity, and community engagement through the arts.

Proceeds from the event directly support several community-based programs, including First Robotics, Lego Mindstorm, Girls Who Code, the Wisconsin Shakespeare Festival, and many more. You'll have the opportunity to have an immersive experience and change the lives of thousands of individuals at the same time!
