THE 7TH ANNUAL JAZZ AGE LAWN PARTY SATURDAY and SUNDAY
JUNE 16TH & 17TH, 2012
AND
AUGUST 18TH & 19TH
Governors Island
11am to 5pm $15 (Children under 12 free)
Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra invites you to join us on
this hidden gem just off the southeastern tip of Manhattan, nestled in
the heart of majestic New York Harbor.
Under a shady grove of centuries-old trees, caressed by fresh sea air, a
sprawling green surrounded by historic officers' quarters and 18th
century naval ramparts becomes the setting for a true Gatsby affair. A
recession-friendly $15 admission gives you access to one of the
Summer's most magnificent celebrations.
Widely anticipated by flappers, sporting gents and tiny tots alike, this
event has been featured and reviewed consistently by The New York
Times, who selected the Jazz Age Lawn Party as one of the most memorable
parties of 2009 and 2010.
