The “most anticipated party of the year” has returned to Prospect Park! On Saturday, June 23, the Prospect Park Alliance will host its annual soiree, an impromptu dinner and dance party for 4,000 people. Taking place in one of the park’s most secluded locations (the Peninsula), the one-night-only event will bring together people from all walks of life to dance beneath the stars and celebrate “Brooklyn’s Backyard.” Tickets for the soiree are now on sale, and will sell out quickly — so grab them before they’re gone!
The Prospect Park Alliance will be providing tables, chairs and entertainment (including a live jazz band and DJ set), while attendees truly make the night a party by bringing their best table decor, delicious food and wine. Guests are also encouraged to dress festively by donning show-stopping hats or headpieces that showcase their creativity. Individual tickets cost $45, but table packages, which come with two bottles of wine, are also available for groups of ten.
The proceeds from this event will go to the Prospect Park Alliance, the non-profit organization that sustains, restores and advances Prospect Park. See more information here. Please note that guests must be 21+ to attend.
