  • LitP is still on hiatus due to the coronavirus

    LitP is still on hiatus due to the coronavirus

    Dear Swing Dancers,

    Lindy in the Park is still on hiatus until further notice due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Even though more and more people are being vaccinated, case rates have decreased since the winter surge, and more activities are opening up, we have not yet reached “herd immunity” and the coronavirus is still being transmitted. Accordingly, the San Francisco Rec & Parks Department is unable to issue us a permit at this time.

    We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you posted about LitP’s status if anything changes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    In the meantime, please continue to be safe and do your part: wear a face mask, wash your hands, and social distance. And get vaccinated as soon as possible! The sooner we can end the pandemic, the sooner we’ll be able to swing dance again at Lindy in the Park.

    Stay safe!
    Ken

    Dear Lindy in the Park community,

    Sorry, more sad news: Beginning March 22, 2020, Lindy in the Park is on hiatus until further notice due to the Governor’s “Stay at Home” executive order N-33-20 issued March 19th to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

    We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you posted about LitP’s status if anything changes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Stay healthy, and keep on swingin’ (at home)!

    Sundays, Mar 8-15, 2020: LitP is canceled due to coronavirus recommendations

    Hello Swing Dancers,

    Sadly, we’ve decided to cancel Lindy in the Park for the next two Sundays, Mar 8 -15, 2020, as per the recommendations by the San Francisco Department of Public Health for “social distancing” to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. These include canceling non-essential large gatherings (www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/coronavirus-faq.asp).

    We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you posted about LitP’s status for the weeks that follow. Thank you for your understanding, and please spread the word (not the virus)!

    Take care,
    Ken
