Jazz Age Lawn Party

The Jazz Age Lawn Party is a roaring good time on Governor's Island. Two weekends every summer, performers of authentic jazz age music and dancing come together to celebrate a riotous time 100 years past. The originator of The Jazz Age Lawn Party is the front man for a big band, Michael Arenella of the Dreamland Orchestra. Adults are welcome to try Golden Age cocktails and kids are welcome to come dressed as flapperettes. Over 20,000 people gather on these frozen-in-time weekends dedicated to celebrating a time when there was no limit on fun.
