If you’ve been craving a little old-school glamor, look no further than the Jazz Age Lawn Party, returning to Governors Island for one final summer hurrah on August 9th & 10th. Now in its 20th year, this beloved NYC tradition is part Gatsby daydream, part open-air festival. It’s unlike anything else in the city. Party-goers can expect to see flapper dresses, feathered headbands, chilled cocktails, and great company. What started as a low-key get-together has evolved into the ultimate Prohibition Era celebration. You won’t want to miss it!
