Put your Santa Catalina Island knowledge to the test and compete for prizes during First Fridays at the Museum on March 2.

Fun for all ages, the Catalina Island Museum’s upcoming First Fridays event will begin with Catalina Island BINGO.

A variety of prizes will be awarded and multiple rounds will be played. Once everyone is warmed up, the trivia contest will begin.

All trivia questions will be related to Catalina Island history and the museum’s exhibitions – current and upcoming.

Trivia contestants are encouraged to explore the museum’s galleries to brush up on their island history or details about José Guadalupe Posada prior to the contest.

In addition, books in the Museum Store may be helpful as would a visit to the museum’s website for a look at its upcoming exhibitions.

The winner will receive a $100 American Express gift card.

Bring your friends and family. Put your game face on and test your knowledge against theirs. You may even learn something!
