Charity Live Performance Series

THursday Thru Sunday, 6PM at THE PLAXALL GALLERY

Live music, performance art, craft beer and local food in The Plaxall Gallery's huge parking lot on the waterfront with all proceeds going to charity.


Culture Lab LIC has moved its performance series outside where there's plenty of room for social distancing.

Each night, a different performance... From a jazz trio to a blues band... Stand-up comedy to a six-piece orchestra. 

 

Check out our Instagram or Facebook for who's playing. But does it really matter? You're outside, the drinks are cold, you can sit by the water with a great view of the Manhattan skyline. Walk the beautiful waterfront park and check out the other local restaurants and breweries. So much going on.

All profits go to support the arts and community center which supports dozens of other nonprofits by providing space and technical support.
