Description

Put on your dancing shoes, another summer of Tennis Court Dances are kicking off on the Jackson Square Tennis Courts. Held monthly on the third Thursday, Manhattan Project National Historical Park recreates the open air tennis court dances held during the Manhattan Project to entertain the 75,000 war workers and their families contained within America’s Secret City.

The dances are an all-ages event, and all are encouraged to participate. Featuring swing music from the 1940s, you might get bit by the jitterbug out on the court. Water, bug repellent and safe footwear is encouraged.

The 2024 Summer Season of Tennis Court Dances will be held on May 16, June 20, July 18, August 15, September 19, and October 17.
