Will there food at Bryant Park’s Square Dance?
Yes. Country-inspired bites from Hester Street Fair will be available to snack on. For those 21+, Stout NYC will have beer and wine for purchase.
Is there a dress code for Square Dance?
Though no dress code will be enforced, western themed attire is highly encouraged. Complimentary bandanas will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Hats will be available for purchase as well.
If you remember correctly, this isn’t the first time New Yorkers are invited to have a dance party at Bryant Park. A three-week dance celebration took over the park this past spring. And don’t forget, just a month after Square Dance, Bryant Park will reopen its magical Winter Village for an early start to the holiday season!
