For the first time ever, The Jazz Age Lawn Party is trading summer sunshine for crisp autumn air. On Saturday November 7 or Sunday November 8, 2026 starting at 11:00am, The New York Times-celebrated favorite returns to Governors Island for a very special Autumn Edition. Think Gatsby-era glamour against dreamy fall foliage, dancing beneath the red & gold leafed trees, a warming cocktail in hand, and the Manhattan skyline shimmering beyond the lawn!

Grab your $34 Bee’s Knees Ticket (a $90 Value) for Admission for ONE to the date of your choice, plus 1 Cocktail, Glass of Wine, or Beer. For 21 years, this extraordinary gathering has transported New Yorkers straight back to the Roaring Twenties, and this first-ever fall installment gives the experience an entirely new kind of magic. Layer up in your finest vintage threads, hop on the ferry, and get ready for six hours of hot jazz, autumn revelry and old-school New York romance.

The soundtrack comes courtesy of Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra, serving up the sizzling hot jazz of the 1920s, alongside the soulful vintage vocals of Risa Branch and spirited performances from Roddy Caravella & The Canarsie Wobblers. Hit the sprawling dance floor beneath the trees for 1920s dance lessons and contests (the Charleston on Saturday and the Peabody on Sunday) and twirl your way through the afternoon as the leaves fall around you.

And there’s plenty happening beyond the dance floor. Browse vintage clothing vendors, pose at the Paper Moon photo booth, or sit for a timeless portrait at the Penumbra Foundation Tintype Photo Booth. Challenge your crew to Croquet or Pétanque, browse goodies & sundries at the Dreamland General Store, and explore the Gourmet Picnic Market filled with gourmet eats. Sunday brings the old-fashioned High Court of Pie Baking Contest, while families can head to Kidland for carnival games, crafts and activities, with the Children’s Parade taking place on Sunday.

Then there are the drinks. Alongside vintage cocktails from the Social Hour bar and French wines at the Taste France Wine Bar, this special fall edition will lean into the season with warming autumnal pours including Hot Butterscotch Rum and Warm Cider. So find a patch of lawn, spread out your picnic blanket and toast to November in true Jazz Age fashion.

Between the live jazz, fiery fall foliage, Champagne, picnicking, vintage fashion and unbeatable people-watching, Jazz Age Lawn Party’s first-ever autumn weekend might just be its most enchanting yet...
