When you need an escape from the daily grind, there are only two things that will do – a holiday to an incredible place, or a truly fabulous party. At the top of our wishlist? Running away to the excitement of New York State, and partying all night at a Jazz Era style soirée so ritzy that it would make Jay Gatsby himself blush – think a grand Champagne tower, good conversation, a dance floor where you can cut a rug, and all of the sparkles.
The 1920s are so hot right now, and with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel now celebrating its 100th anniversary, we couldn’t think of a better time to take a leaf out of The Great Gatsby playbook and throw a swinging shindig. So, we at Time Out have partnered up with I LOVE NY, the official tourism office for New York State, to put on a glamorous evening inspired by 1920s New York.
Here in Sydney, we like our slice of New York served as a speakeasy, so this opulent invite-only affair will be taking over a secret underground location in the city on Wednesday, April 9.
Oh, and we’re not just telling you about it to make you jealous, we want you to come party with us! We’re inviting 15 lucky readers (and their plus ones) to come party with us and our other VIP guests. All you need to do is take a New York minute to enter our competition by filling out the form over here before March 30, and cross those little fingers.
An evening to remember, this event will feature Great Gatsby-inspired cocktails, a special menu celebrating New York State's culinary heritage, immersive performances paying homage to the Jazz Age, and some other special surprises. Feeling lucky? Enter now, and party with us later.
