The Museum Celebrates!

The Museum of the City of New York recently celebrated its Children’s Holiday Party on Monday, December 12. Sponsored by Milly minis, the event featured performances by The Brearly “B-Naturals,” Brett Band, Magic Al, Mike the Ballooniac, and Tim and the Space Cadets. —

Tots ages 3-8 enjoyed an afternoon full of fun and merriment, including a visit with Santa Claus, arts & crafts, carnival games, cookie decorating, face painting, Let’s Dress Up! and more.

Proceeds from the party went to providing essential support for the Museum’s Frederick A.O. Schwarz Children’s Center, which offers innovative education programs that help children learn about NYC history and their place in it.
