fuller after dark is back…

Brockton’s Signature Museum Night Returns

After a breakout debut that brought hundreds into the museum for an unforgettable night of art, music, and culture, Fuller After Dark returns to the Fuller Craft Museum — bigger, bolder, and more immersive than ever before.

For one night, the museum transforms after hours into a vibrant cultural experience blending live music, curated food and cocktails, immersive activations, and unexpected creative moments throughout the galleries and grounds.

This year, Fuller After Dark will expand on everything that made the inaugural event such a success — with more food, more art, more music, more vendors, more activations, and an even more elevated atmosphere throughout the evening. Guests can expect a refined and energetic experience designed to bring together creatives, professionals, artists, and culture-shapers from across the region.

Presented by Greater Brockton Young Professionals in collaboration with Fuller Craft Museum as part of Momentum 2026 by BAMS Fest, Fuller After Dark continues its mission of introducing new audiences to one of Brockton’s most unique cultural spaces through creativity, nightlife, and community.

Additional experiences, featured vendors, activations, and entertainment announcements will be revealed closer to the event.
