One of Oyster Bay’s newest summer traditions is Dancing in the Street, which takes place every Friday in July at the gazebo in town. Sponsored by the Oyster Bay Main Street Association, half of Audrey Avenue is closed off and a DJ is called in for a great night of community dancing from 7-9 p.m.
“This is a great tradition and a beautiful town,” said visitor Michaela Lachance from Cooperstown, NY. “Everyone is having a wonderful time.”
From the meringue to the Macarena, all are welcomed no matter the talent to come and dance the night away. There is even an instructor present to help teach certain styles. Young and old alike gathered on July 18 for a night of salsa, line dancing and Electric Slide. With July quickly coming to a close, all are encourage to take part and dance the night away with neighbors, friends, and others from the community.
“I haven’t danced in a long time,” commented Lachance. “It was nice to refresh my steps and revisit something that I used to enjoy so much.”
This is Dancing in the Street’s fourth year as a town event and brings countless people together for a wonderful summer night. For more information, please visit the OBMSA website www.oysterbaymainstreet.org/dancing-in-the-street.html.
