For more than 25 years, we’ve hosted First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum. These monthly evenings of free programming welcome visitors from central Brooklyn and beyond.

First Saturdays is held February–June, August, and October, 5–11 pm. See you in February 2025!

Advance registration is required. Admission is subject to our capacity at the time of your arrival. To ensure the safety of our visitors and to comply with city fire codes, please enter through the front of the Museum starting at 5 pm. Doors close at 9:30 pm.

The lineup is subject to change. Masks are optional except for programs in the Auditorium, at which masks will be provided upon arrival. Coat check is available in a limited capacity on a first-come, first-served basis.
