Lindy in th Park 30th Anniversary Dinner Dance

Celebrate 30 years of Lindy in the Park with us at the Verdi Club! Join us for a special anniversary dinner dance featuring Nick Rossi Swing Six. It's the kick off to the Lindy in the Park 30th Anniversary Weekend Celebration and we can wait to celebrate with you!

Nick Rossi is known both locally and internationally as a premiere swing dance bandleader, having performed throughout the United States and Europe with his Swing Four/Six, a hard-driving combo imbued with the spirit of the classic Old Testament Count Basie combos. In the autumn of 2023 he debuted his Jazzopaters, one of the few ensembles anywhere dedicated to the “small group” repertoire of the maestro Duke Ellington, spotlighting a diverse group of talented musicians.

As a musician who believes strongly in actively engaging with the history of the music, Nick has been involved in numerous projects over the years which have tapped into his talents as a writer, historian, and researcher. He was written for magazines such as Acoustic Guitar and The Fretboard Journal as well as record labels such as Resonance, Ace, and RPM. More recently, Nick has participated in a comprehensive retrospective of Benny Goodman’s earliest big band legacy, which includes a mini-survey of jazz guitar through the 1930s

Free Swing Dancing Every Sunday in Golden Gate Park since 1996

, founded by Lindy Hoppers Chad Kubo and Ken Watanabe in August 1996, is the original free swing dance party. Held every Sunday (weather permitting) in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Lindy in the Park is the longest-running swing dance venue in the San Francisco Bay Area (and quite possibly, the world), and is open to dancers of all ages and levels. There is space to sit, take a breather, chat with friends and make new ones, and otherwise enjoy the fresh outdoor air. It is a perfect venue to practice your social dancing to the sounds of jazz, blues and swing music, and sometimes even a few musical surprises.

Run entirely by volunteers, Lindy in the Park takes place every Sunday from 11am to 2pm, and offers a free half-hour beginner swing dance lesson for all from 12:00 to 12:30pm.

No partner required, no experience required, and it’s free.
