City Walk | Historic Brooklyn Bridge Tour


On May 24, 1883, journalist Montgomery Schuyler said "It so happens that the work which is likely to be our most durable monument, and to convey some knowledge of us to the most remote posterity, is a work of bare utility; not a shrine, not a fortress, not a palace, but a bridge." This tour will tell the story of the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge, and examine its ever-present historical, technological, and cultural impact. Note: this tour is held early, as to avoid the massive crowds that the bridge continues to attract, 135 years after its completion.

If you’d like to dress up, the colors are white and silver. We’re also making paper animal masks. This year’s Winter Solstice Celebration will be preceded by an intimate pre-party. Enjoy the champagne, hors d’oevres, a preview of the holiday bazaar table and first dibs on seats. Mix with the artists, mingle with the board, enjoy a bit of socializing before the show.
