The Brooklyn Boogaloo and Barbecue Summer Fundraiser

Come join the most civic museum in town on Saturday July 25th, from 6 – 10pm for a summer throwdown, Brooklyn-style. The City Reliquary’s Brooklyn Boogaloo & Barbecue is our annual summer fundraiser in which we bring you the culture and cuisine of the best outer borough right in our own backyard, all while you support your favorite non-profit community museum. DJ’s Stacher and Kate McCool will be busting out the Boogaloo – an indigenous music formed the late 1960s by melding Latin Jazz, Soul and RnB sounds. Boogaloo was invented in in NYC’s very own Boogie-down Bronx.

Next to the dance floor, City Reliquarians will be grilling up pulled pork sandwiches, burgers, dogs and more! Brooklyn Beer and Homemade Sweet Summer Punch will be served at our bar, and a slideshow of Brooklyn images and sounds will be projected in our backyard. Also help celebrate the birthdays of a half-dozen Reliquarians and friends.

While enjoying the indigenous Boogaloo music, original eatables and delicious drinkables, peruse our current exhibit – INDIGENOUS – A Group Show, featuring drawings and artwork by a dozen LaGuardia High School students and graduates, celebrating Brooklyn in all its glory.
