Philosophy On Broadway 2026
April 20, 2026 @ 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm


A fun Night w/ Friends
Live music, good food & wine, good convo & company…sounds like a community symposium to us! And what a fun way to celebrate and support philosophical thinking in Helena?! Please join us for our fundraiser eve at On Broadway. Live music, a silent auction & a touch of theater. Head to On Broadway. Enjoy some apps, a meal & some drinks…and On Broadway will donate 50% of sales from your night of merriment to our organization! How cool is that?!

Live Music in the Lounge
Helena is home to some amazing musicians. And, as always, we’ll have live music in the lounge! As soon as we book our band, we’ll upddate our event page with al the deets!

Silent Auction
Last year we had a great spread of items for our silent auction. And 2025 will be even better! Here’s how it works. We’ll have a table with prizes set up next to the band. Bid on what moves you. Win yourself some sweet auction prizes (to keep or give to others as gifts!). It’s that simple. And a fun way to show some extra love for Merlin.


Door Prizes
It wouldn’t be a symposium without togas! (We’ll be wearing them. You don’t have to!). HOWEVER, for all of you who want to join the fun…door prizes will be given to every person who shows up in a toga (or something toga-like) to dine!!
Why Give to Merlin?
Imagine a world where thoughtful dialogue & community co-exist. Where differing perspectives break bread. Where understanding, truth, and wisdom is a goal. Imagine you live in that world, that city, that neighborhood, that community.
Be part of that vision. Invest in that community. Support philosophy.
All donations made and winning bids on our silent auction, as well as 50% of your food and beverages during our Philosophy on Broadway fundraiser night, will go toward our Spring & Summer philosophy in the community programming, critical, creative thinking, the exchange of ideas, and the application of philosophy to everyday living. Our programs are free to the community and are opportunities for people of all backgrounds and ages — from children to elders — to gather, to learn from and with one another, and to uniquely cultivate their personal and civic selves.
