Built in 1862 and designated a landmark in 1967, Flushing Town Hall once served as a civic hub but has evolved into the dynamic cultural venue presenting high-quality, award-winning performing and visual arts programs, including theater, jazz, classical and world music, dance, puppetry arts, exhibitions and family programs with interactive workshops. Visitors can step into a stunning 308-seat concert hall and theater, gallery, gift shop and classroom, and explore a tranquil garden that hosts everything from free concerts to yoga classes.

Inside scoop: There is a former jail cell backstage that now serves as a dressing room.
