Join us at AVANT's Table 65 for unique dinners influenced by cuisine minceur (literally meaning ‘slimming cooking’), a style of cooking pioneered by Michelin star chef, Michel Guerard.

Using techniques learned in France, AVANT’s culinary team will present you with light-style, healthful dishes that are extremely flavorful. Whether anti-inflammatory focused, vegetable forward or full cuisine minceur (limiting the use of starch, sugar, butter, and cream), guests will enjoy a true culinary experience.

Guests will leave with a menu and a list of local farmers’ markets to inspire future creations. Optional wine pairings available. 

$49 per person, not including service charge and tax

Each year, guests are invited to create altars to remember and honor their loved ones in a special area outside of the Center's museum; the event also features live music, traditional Mexican fare, sugar skull decorating, and more.

See the Military Working Dog exhibit showcasing the history, training, equipment and missions of Marine Corps military working dogs.

The Marine Corps launched its military dog program during WWII. Marine Corps dogs have participated in every deployment and war since that time. Military working dogs conduct searches of vehicles, open areas, and buildings for the detection of explosives or illegal drugs as well as for lost or wanted persons. Check the website at www.flyingleathernecks.org  for announcements about live military working dog demonstrations!

In addition to the exhibit on dogs, visitors can see 31 historical aircraft up close as well as artifacts from the earliest days of aviation to the present.  Admission and parking are free.
