31st Anniversary! The world’s finest dance bands turn Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park into New York’s favorite open-air dance party—for pros and newcomers alike. Join the electrifying sounds of swing, salsa, disco, Afrobeat, and much, much more.
To ensure your safety and that of all dancers, bags and purses, regardless of size, may NOT be brought onto the dance floor. We strongly recommend that you leave your bags at home, but if you need to bring them, you must use the bag check in Damrosch Park for a fee of $3.
Note: Admission is for entry to the dance floor. There is no seating on the dance floor.
Audience Advisory: Stormy Weather
Midsummer Night Swing makes every effort to present each event of the season, as long as unpredictable summer weather allows. Performance cancellations due to inclement weather will not be announced until 8:30 on show night. In the case of a cancellation, ticket holders are entitled to exchange for another performance or a refund. Pass holders are not entitled to a refund. If a performance has begun and is cancelled after 8:30 exchanges or refunds are not offered.
