NYC’s Jazz Age Lawn Party

NYCGO Staff 4/28/2016Updated 12/20/2016

Two weekends every summer, New York City’s Governors Island hosts the Jazz Age Lawn Party, a tribute to the music and style of the early 20th century. Founded by Michael Arenella, whose Dreamland Orchestra provides the soundtrack, the event draws costumed revelers for swing dancing, retro cocktails and fashionable fun.
