The Brooklyn Museum's First Saturday, a free party which starts at 5pm,
is centered around its wonderful Who Shot Rock and Roll exhibit
tomorrow. There are several events, including a show featuring three
Brooklyn indie bands: Grass Widow, The Beets
and Crystal
Silts. They go on at 5pm and the concert will end at 8:15pm.
Don't like 21st century rock? Then go back to the '80s with Purple Rain, the film featuring Prince. You'll need a ticket to get in, but
they are free and available at the museum's Vistor Center starting at
6pm. The movie starts at 7pm.
Finally, from 9-11pm, there's a dance party which, as the Brooklyn Museum describes as "highlighting
artists featured in Who Shot Rock & Roll, including Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Chuck Berry, and Jay-Z."
First Saturday, The Brooklyn Museum, Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue, 5-11pm, Free.
