Museum suspends dance parties at First Saturdays
For the past 14 years, Target First Saturdays (originally just First Saturdays) have been one of the main attractions of the Brooklyn Museum.
In these free monthly events, organized on a separate theme every months, museum-goers are treated to films, live music, lectures, gallery walks, food, a cash bar, and, toward the end of the evening, a giant dance party with a live band. To many, if not most, visitors, the dance party is the highlight of the entire evening.
Well, the museum has no plans to end Target First Saturdays, but the dance parties have, in the words of the museum’s blog, been “put on hiatus.”
