DESCRIPTION

We'll be overlooking the reservoir and gorgeous midtown skyline from the heart of Central Park (c. 95th St / middle of Park so enter from either East or West sides - go to map ). This is an informal gathering and not a ticketed event... so it is free to attend, but bands will be busking, so please tip generously!

Dancers please be courteous and wear masks and/or ask partners about vaccination status. We suggest wearing sneakers to dance on the bridal path (pebbles / dirt).

DONATIONS (2x ways)
*** Cash: directly tip each band with cash during their set.
*** Electronic: sent to Prohibition Productions who will split amongst ALL bands. This is like a "ticket" and any amount is appreciated, but we recommend $25 or more if only making one. Donations can be made during picnic, or up until July 3rd.

FAQ: Will this be live-streamed? Not exactly... plan is to film the picnic & then edit it to feature on the July & Aug. episodes of our Quarantine Speakeasy. We might put up a single smartphone during the picnic to livestream it, but quality will be mediocre... Let us know if you have opinions!

* rain date is Sunday, June 27th *
