Jazz Age Evenings: Swing Under The Summer Sky
Posted in Programs and Events on July 18 2014, by Lansing Moore
Next Thursday, July 24, is the second of only three special Jazz Age Evenings here at the Garden. This special event series whisks visitors back in time to the age of Groundbreakers for a magical summer evening. Sip vintage-style cocktails courtesy of our friends at Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer, and dance the night away to big band music from the one and only Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra after an initial dance lesson at the start of the party.
Each evening is unique, so read on for the details on the special cocktail recipe and music theme for July 24! You will also see more exclusive photos of last month’s Jazz Age Evening, and get a peek of what’s in store for you and that special someone.
Next Thursday’s music hearkens back to the suave, romantic crooners of the 1930s. Sweet serenades complement smooth rhythms and more intimate dances. The evening kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with a dance lesson in the Foxtrot and the “Fred & Ginger” until 7:15 so you and your special someone can sway to the live tunes.
Quench your thirst with the evening’s signature cocktail, the Crabbie & Stormy, a twist on the classic that mixes dark rum with Crabbie’s all-natural ginger beer and a hint of lemon. The result is pleasantly spicy, but not too heavy for a warm night. Enjoy these scenes from our last evening, and buy your tickets now before they sell out!
MasterCard Cardholders are invited to start the night off with a champagne pre-party at Shop in the Garden each night from 5 to 6 p.m. Get more information and tickets.
