The gates to the most glamorous decade in history are swinging wide open once again! Dust off your oxfords and don your flapper fringe, as New York's most iconic summer soiree is back for its 20th dazzling year. The New York Times-lauded Jazz Age Lawn Party returns to the sun-drenched emerald lawns of Governors Island on Saturday August 9 and Sunday August 10, 2025 starting at 11:00am sharp!
Step straight into a Champagne-soaked summer fantasy set in the heart of the 1920s with your $29 Social Hour Ticket (a $76 value) for Admission for ONE to the date of your choice, plus 1 Cocktail, Glass of Wine, or an ice-cold Beer. The city’s most stylish denizens will gather to revel in the golden glow of a New York afternoon - don't miss it!
Or toast in true Gatsby style with the $69 Rosé Lover’s Ticket For TWO (a $172 value), which gets you Admission for TWO and 1 Chilled Bottle of Premium Rosé (750ml) to share. Whether you're a pair of starry-eyed romantics or jazz-loving besties, it's the ultimate clink-under-the-sun experience!
Be serenaded by the era’s finest, including Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra, Queen Esther, and Peter Mintun on the ivories. Swoon to the rhythm, swing through dance lessons, and catch your breath watching the high-kicking brilliance of The Canarsie Wobblers.
Pose for a vintage portrait, cheer on the fabulous Bathing Beauties & Beaus Promenade, get dapper with a trim at the pop-up barbershop, and marvel at the chrome dreams of the 1920s Motorcar Exhibition.
Treasure hunt through vintage vendors, sip and swirl under the sun, and unfurl your picnic blanket amidst the jazz and jubilation. This is a rose-tinted ride through time, a city summer’s day dripping in Prohibition-era glam and timeless charm.
Ready to dance through a dream? The Jazz Age is calling...
All aboard the time machine, darlings! Next stop: a golden summer in the Roaring Twenties. Lauded by The New York Times, crowned a “must” by the five-star Peninsula Hotel, and adored by The New Yorker, the Jazz Age Lawn Party waltzes back to Governors Island for another sun-drenched weekend of Gatsby-worthy revelry.
Step into a dreamscape where rosé flows freely, gramophones hum, and summer unfolds with vintage elegance. Beneath a canopy of sunshine, flappers twirl in fringe and feathers, jazz melodies drift through the air, and the spirit of Prohibition-era playfulness dances alongside modern-day glamour.
Expect a full-sensory escape into a time when the world was a little more golden, and every summer afternoon felt like a page from Fitzgerald. Now celebrating its dazzling twentieth year, this beloved tradition - immortalized by the late, great New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham - has become one of New York’s most enchanting and unmissable social spectacles.
At the heart of the celebration is the inimitable Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra, whose swoon-worthy swing and magnetic charm set the tempo for a truly unforgettable day. Each note transports you deeper into a world of clinking glasses, chilled rosé, and laughter shared beneath parasols.
There is, of course, far more to discover. Stop by the Dreamland General Store to stock up on picnic essentials, stylish parasols, and vintage treasures. Try your hand at dance lessons on the lawn, pose for a timeless portrait, marvel at the stunning 1920s Motorcar Exhibition, or join a genteel croquet match that would make Gatsby proud.
When hunger calls, the Gourmet Picnic Market beckons with a decadent spread from top local purveyors, perfect for a leisurely feast on a sun-dappled blanket. As the afternoon drifts on, performances delight, music swells, and the island becomes a stage for a glorious celebration of summer, style, and the enduring magic of the Jazz Age.
Whether you’re shimmering in a sequined flapper frock or crisp in your Sunday-best seersucker, you’ll find yourself wrapped in a summer dream - an affair to remember, and a world away from the everyday...
