Flushing Town Hall is a really great event space. They always have a performance or exhibit going on so be sure to check their calender. The downstairs area may look or seem small- but just wait till you get to the second floor! Upstairs, there is a huge auditorium with really big windows.
I made a visit out here before I was a resident of Flushing because I was interested in renting the space for my wedding. The price is reasonable but of course once you factor in catering- it can get expensive. When they give you the tour, they also give you a binder filled with all the information you would possibly need about the space including floor plans with measurements. It was really helpful (even though we ended up elsewhere).
I passed by recently as I was walking home one night because the doors were open and there were a lot people inside. I was able to catch the free exhibit about rugs from Turkey. It was really nice!
Flushing Town Hall is linked with the Smithsonian Institution. Â They have a full calendar of cultural and art events. Â I came here for a Korean locks exhibit which was on tour before going to New York City. Â It was a wonderful collection and the event was also catered. Â There is also a large auditorium where I attended some public functions with the City Comptroller. Â They also have free Jazz events outside during the summer. Â If you are looking for something cultural in Flushing this is a must on your list.
If you are driving here they have a parking lot in the back. Â They also have a gift shop in the lobby.
