First Friday at NBMAA | The Soul Factory

Our signature social event features live music, art, food, spirits, and good friends. New Britain’s best Happy Hour, since 1995!

The Soul Factory is a high-energy cover band serving up the best of soul, funk, Motown, and pop. Think Stevie Wonder meets Bruno Mars with a horn section that hits like Tower of Power. Our setlist blends timeless classics and modern bangers to keep the dance floor moving all night long.

Cash bar available; access to Museum galleries is included with your ticket.
Catered will be selling delicious bites at First Friday each month in the Museum Café!
