Roaring Twenties Lawn Party

The Roaring Twenties Lawn Party is one of several special events presented by Boston Swing Central this Summer.

The Roaring Twenties Lawn Party is as the name implies: a themed, 1920s, outdoor, Jazz Age, Great Gatsby party on the sprawling lawns of the gorgeous Castle Hill at the Crane Estate. Castle Hill features a mansion high upon a hill which was built in the 1920s and overlooks Crane's Beach and the majestic Atlantic Ocean. The Lawn Party will feature twenties and thirties hot jazz from Brooklyn-based Baby Soda Jazz Band. It will also feature swing dancing lessons, Charleston performances and a vintage fair.

This year we will be expanding to two full days!

Attendees are encouraged to come in twenties-style dress, bring a picnic supper or purchase one on-site, and spend the evening.

Boston Swing Central is a dancer-formed, volunteer-run, non-profit dedicated to promoting swing dance. They hold regular dance parties every Friday at their studio in Charlestown and welcome new dancers. Please visit bostonswingcentral.org for more information.

Castle Hill, a 165-acre National Historic Landmark, was the summer home of Chicago industrialist Richard T. Crane Jr. and his family from 1910-1949. They entertained in grand style at their 59-room English-style mansion and its surrounding gardens. Now owned by The Trustees of Reservations, Castle Hill on the Crane Estate, is the perfect setting for a lawn party celebrating the music and dance from its hey-day.
