Rain and Bay to Breakers cancels, but other than that, Lindy in the Park takes place every Sunday – even on holidays – so even if New Year’s Day, Christmas, or Fourth of July falls on a Sunday, they’ll be out there dancing. On the very rare occasion when they cancel, they’ll make a new posting on their website, usually by 10am on Sunday. Lindy in the Park’s Schedule FAQ

Free Beginners Swing Lessons | Noon to 12:30 pm 
Lindy in the Park offers a free weekly beginning swing dance lesson, taught by Hep Jen. The lessons are short, easy and fun and then you can practice your new steps with the whole group until 2 pm.

No partner is required, as they rotate leaders and followers throughout the lesson.
