Description

Saturday and Sunday, September 13th and 14th 10 am to 7 pm
Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra invites you join us on this hidden gem just off the southeastern tip of Manhattan, nestled in the heart of majestic New York Harbor.
Due to the past successes of our Jazz Age Lawn Party, our event has expanded to a two-day-long festival this Summer (June 7th and 8th) and Fall.(Sept, 13th and 14th)
Under a shady grove of centuries-old trees, caressed by fresh sea air, a sprawling green surrounded by historic officers’ quarters and 18th century naval ramparts becomes the setting for a true Gatsby affair. Widely anticipated by flappers, sporting gents and tiny tots alike, this event has been featured annually by The New York Times.
In addition to Michael Arenella’s 11-piece Dreamland Orchestra which plays both days, special guest performers will be joining the program, who will be announced soon.br />
A wide array of music, activities, games and contests are open for all ages to enjoy:
Charleston and Peabody Dance lessons with legends Roddy Caravella and Paul Grecki of Sandra Cameron Dance Center
Vintage ’78 records spun on a gorgeous 1920s Victor Credenza phonograph machine by Matthew Hinson (wait ‘til you see the horn on this thing!)
1920s Motorcar Exhibition - lucky game winners will get a spin around the island in a genuine rumbleseat; hold on to your hat!
Vintage clothing dealers and boutique milliners, also to be announced soon, will be peddling wares, so be sure to tuck some cash into your garter.
