General Information on Lindy in the Park
Today’s the 24th Anniversary of Lindy in the Park.
While LitP is still on hiatus due to COVID-19, we can still celebrate LitP’s 24th birthday! It was waaaay back in 1996 when founders Chad Kubo and Ken Watanabe brought a boombox to the “clamshell” in the Music Concourse, and history was made.
Big shout outs to Ken and Naomi, Hep Jen and the many volunteers for continuing the tradition!
Hopefully, we can get the ship moving again soon.
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)!
Ken
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

Sorry folks,
