Prospect Park Soiree (晚会)
DESCRIPTION
Attend the most celebrated party of the year! We provide the entertainment and breathtaking setting, while you gather with thousands of friends — new and old — to enjoy an evening under stars in Prospect Park.
Wear your most festive clothes, prepare a delicious feast, and dine and dance under the stars in one of Prospect Park's most secluded (僻静的) locations. Show off your creativity with a show-stopping topper — a fabulous hat — as well as table decor that celebrates the beautiful surroundings.
We are excited to introduce this year's entertainment! Inspired by the Big Band Era of Jazz, Dandy Wellington and his Band have taken the sounds of the 1930's and 40's and created a world of well-dressed music. Post-dinner, enjoy a DJ dance party with DJ Cosmo Baker, who has played alongside artists as diverse as Drake, Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Pitbull, Trey Songz and Moby.
Proceeds (收入) benefit Prospect Park Alliance, the non-profit organization that sustains (供养), restores and advances Prospect Park for the benefit of the diverse communities that call Brooklyn home.
