The 15th Annual Jazz Age Lawn Party Returns To Governors Island For The Final Weekend This Summer
Celebrating the "RETURN OF THE TWENTIES," the final installment of the festival will be held August 14-15, 2021
NEW YORK, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- New York City's premier annual Jazz Age Lawn Party returns for a second weekend this summer and announces today that tickets are now on sale. Celebrating its 15th year, the Jazz Age Lawn Party has awoken the vibrations of a timeless zeitgeist. Originating as a small gathering of friends longing for the simpler charms of a bygone era, the event has evolved into an international destination, the world's most beloved and longest-running event of its kind. The vibrant optimism and inventiveness of Jazz Age culture and its living legacy continue to resonate with generation after generation.
Governors Island becomes the backdrop for this cultural phenomenon. This trip through time begins with a breezy ride aboard a ferry boat with breathtaking views of Manhattan and Lady Liberty en route to NYC's hidden gem, Governors Island. Once ashore, a sprawling green awaits, nestled under a canopy of century-old trees, caressed by fresh sea air, surrounded by historic architecture—a dream where the clock stops, nestled right in the heart of New York Harbor.
Refreshing summer cocktails will feature Social Hour Cocktails. ("Pacific Spritz", "Gin & Tonic" and "Whiskey Mule") Ice cold Radeberger Pilsner, chilled Rosé and soft drinks will also be on hand. Widely anticipated by flappers, sporting gents and tiny tots alike, the event has been revered year after year by a wide array of families, locals, and tourists. Jazz Age Lawn Party is committed to hosting a fun and safe event with strict adherence to NYS COVID-19 protocols. Proof of a negative COVID-19 test or vaccination certificate may also be required. An updated protocol list will be announced prior to the event.
After hosting a smaller version of the Jazz Age Lawn Party in June, Michael and his team are ecstatic to welcome more attendees back this August for a city-approved attendance of 50% capacity.
