Gatsby-Style Weekend - The Jazz Age Lawn Party On Governors Island

Last weekend, Governors Island played host to the Jazz Age Lawn Party. Sharply dressed men and free-spirited flappers flocked to the always popular event of dancing and dance performances, live music, picnicking, vintage clothes shopping and partying.  A wide variety of 1920's inspired refreshments and gourmet food were also available for purchase. Music was provided by Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra. Also featured were a 1920's motorcar exhibition, parade of hats, dance lessons, antique gramophones and a pie recipe contest. The event will be repeated on August 17-18.
