An outdoor swing music concert and dance open to public. The music is live and there is a dance lesson at the start. You can come just for the music or you can bust out your own dancing. All of our events are permitted through NYC Parks and Recreation. Events are subject to cancellation due to weather.
UPDATE: The Appearance by Miss Maybell & The Jazz Artistes has been postponed to AUG 20th due to the poor weather. HOWEVER, We expect to provide DJ music from 4:30 – 6:30PM today if skies remain clear. Due to the unpredictable weather patterns this weekend no LIVE music but plenty of fun.
Central Park Swings returns to our new location inside Central Park. Join us at King Jagiello statue Plaza for a social afternoon of music & dance. This stunning plaza in the round overlooks Turtle Pond and Belvedere Castle.

“Miss Maybell plays banjo and taps her steel brushes on a tricked-out washboard. She also commands an impressive kazoo, but the secret weapon they unleash is Maybell’s vocals — deep and strong enough to join an angel choir with the likes of Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday.”
