What is Prospect Park Soiree?
Prospect Park Soiree is an outdoor dinner and dance party that takes place in Prospect Park on a Saturday evening in June. We provide the entertainment and breathtaking setting, while you gather with thousands of friends and neighbors to enjoy an evening under the stars in Prospect Park. Wear your most festive attire, prepare a delicious feast, bring your favorite bottle of wine, and dine and dance under the stars in one of Prospect Park’s most scenic locations. Show off your creativity with your attire and table décor, and raise your glass in a toast to Brooklyn's Backyard.
