Friday Night @ ROM (Feb 6th)

#FNLROM will be back for one night only this winter

A dreary month, a chilly evening – warm it up  at this  Carnival-themed FNL! With more of the unique mix of live music, dancing, eclectic eats and drinks, gallery activities and unexpected experiences which have made FNL Toronto’s most unique social destination.

Playing Mas and dressing up? We’d love to see your costume (it’s optional) — but for the security of our collections, please leave face masks and props at home.

#FNLROM  @ROMtoronto

The early-bird (online) tickets for this event have flown. However, there will be plenty of tickets available at the door. These will be on sale from 7 pm until capacity is reached, so we recommend arriving shortly before 7 pm. Join the “NEED’EM” line to the east of the Museum’s main entrance.

With non-stop high-energy dancing, miming, rapping and singing, Brotherhood tells a compelling story in rhyme about the unlikely journey of two brothers who were deeply immersed in hip hop and R&B music: how they were torn apart and brought back together again. A must-see!
