The official NYC Thanksgiving Parade is canceled,  but that doesn’t mean we can’t still keep the tradition alive! We are teaming up with Quiet Events’ Silent Disco for a private Mini Thanksgiving Day Parade. Celebrate Thanksgiving with friends old and new as we trace the path of the historic parade from the Upper West Side to 34th street. Everyone will get a set of wireless headphones and listen to our special Thanksgiving Parade Soundtrack that will keep you dancing all the way to Herald Square! We’ll also stop along the way for a few group dances and to learn a little history of the parade and the historic places along the way.

 

We are limiting attendance to 50 people as we socially distance dance and sing (with masks). With headphones on, we can spread out up to two city blocks!

 

Music selection for tonight:

 

• DJ 1 (Green): Dance Hits & 90’s & 2K Throwbacks
• DJ 3 (Blue): Special Thanksgiving soundtrack including some marching band favorites that you would hear at the real parade!
