Saturday night is Target First Night at the Brooklyn Museum. And you just know it’s going to be packed. A nice warm spring night. Dogs by Wegman. Music. Wine. Sounds real nice.

To my mind, the Seventies Dance Party in the Beaux Arts Ballroom is the ticket. From 9 p.m.–11 p.m., et down to classic disco, funk, and soul hosted by DJ Delmar Browne of KTU Studio 54 Clubhouse, Music Choice. But you be the judge, here’s the rest of the schedule:
