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 DJ Misbehaviour spinning disco upstairs on the mezzanine, Operator Emz playing funk and hip-hop down on the platform, and New Style Hustle dance lessons with Jeff Selby.
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.
Ticket price includes admission and two drink tickets. Additional drink tickets will be available at our cash bar.
All but $20 per ticket is tax-deductible.
Drinks are generously sponsored by:
