General Information on Lindy in the Park
Hey Dancers!
In case you had any doubts, Lindy in the Park IS happening this Sunday, October 4, 2015, even with the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival going on. In fact, Lindy in the Park happens every Sunday, even on holidays! Always free. Every Sunday. Same place. Same time. (The only time we cancel is for rain and Bay to Breakers.)
However, parking will be more difficult, so we suggest that you plan appropriately and arrive early or take public transit.
Hope to see you Sunday!

Hi Everyone,
Due to the Bay to Breakers race, which runs along JFK Drive next to our dance area, Lindy in the Park is cancelled this Sunday, May 17, 2015.
Lindy in the Park will return the following Sunday, May 24, at its regular time (11:00AM-2:00PM) and location (weather permitting, of course) and resume its normal weekly schedule.
