    Step into the groove at Vinyl Nights Presents Return to ’76, a one-night-only fundraiser celebrating 50 years of the New York Transit Museum, from our debut in 1976 to today. The Museum transforms into a two-level dance party powered by the rich, analog sound of vinyl, with disco spinning upstairs on the mezzanine and funk and hip-hop taking over down on the platform.

    Dress to impress in your boldest 1970s-inspired looks, from bell bottoms and platform shoes to sequins, satin, and statement prints, and come ready to dance. With DJs spinning records the old-school way, Vinyl Nights brings a night of music, movement, and retro style, all in support of the Museum.
