2026 Prospect Park Soiree

Get ready for Brooklyn’s most magical gathering in the heart of the Park — Prospect Park Soiree!

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!

Tickets are $60 through March 31, and then increase to $65.

Our Prospect Park Alliance members-only presale begins Thursday, March 19 at 9 am, and tickets will go on sale to the public on Tuesday, March 24 at 9 am. Become an Alliance member by Friday, March 13 at noon to access the presale.

City Winery will be on site with wine, beer, cider, and water for sale at the event. Guests may also pre-order wine in advance and have one less item to bring to the park!

Event proceeds and a portion of wine sales benefit Prospect Park Alliance, the non-profit organization that sustains, restores and advances Prospect Park for the benefit of the diverse communities that call Brooklyn home.
