- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 05 Sep, 2025 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 05 Sep, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Our signature social event features live music, art, food, spirits, and good friends. New Britain’s best Happy Hour, since 1995!

Down To Funk is one of New England's premiere cover bands, playing all your favorite hits from the 70s to today. Starting out as outstanding solo musicians, we decided to come together as the core 4 to entertain large scale events. We're all just like family...no literally (75% of us are blood-related). Having worked with musicians such as Javier Colón (Winner of The Voice: Season 1), Matt Oestricher (Music Director at The Apollo Theatre), Grammy nominated artists Allen Stone and Matt Cusson, we love to expand our family up to as many as 10 musicians at a time. If you're down to funk with us, we'll funk around with you too.

Cash bar available; access to Museum galleries is included with your ticket.

Event doors will open at 5:30 p.m.

Please note: The venue has capacity for several hundred with limited seating available and a full dance floor. The rest of the space is dedicated for standing room only. Please arrive early for a better chance of securing chairs.

First Friday is a 21+ event. For the safety of all patrons, the attendance of children at First Friday is prohibited.
