Nauti Nite is the WAVE Foundation’s annual fundraiser, which generates over $80,000 in revenues for our education and conservation programs.

WAVE is the non-profit partner with the Newport Aquarium who provides education, conservation and volunteer programs and initiatives. Our mission is to promote the welfare of aquatic life and to excite, engage and educate the community about the importance of conservation. We serve over 100,000 students per year through classroom activities, field trips to the Aquarium, outreach programs, summer camp and more. We have a robust volunteer program of over 500 individuals who perform a variety of duties and engage in conservation projects locally and globally.

Nauti Nite is held at the Newport Aquarium at the Newport on the Levee, Newport KY
