On December 1st, from 7pm to midnight, Brooklyn Public Library will host the first People’s Ball, a party celebrating imagination, style and freedom—with a touch of subversion.
The People’s Ball offers all who attend a red carpet arrival and catwalk on which to express themselves in their most beautiful, courageous, and spirited personal style. The catwalk opens every hour for 15 minutes for anyone who wants to shine on it.
Special guests punctuate the evening with public addresses on why authentic self-expression matters so deeply at a time when personal freedom is at stake. Think Revolution in Heels.
The event is free.
