Edinbop Celebrates World Lindy Hop Day
Date and time
Celebrate World Lindy Hop day with some free social dancing with Edinbop!
About this event
World Lindy Hop Days falls on the 26th May every year, a date chosen thanks to it being original Lindy Hopper Frankie Manning's birthday. And Edinbop wants to celebrate this wonderful dance with you!
Join us for some (free!) outdoor dancing at the Pavilion. We will have some of Edinburgh's finest DJs to get you grooving, as well as live music from Castle Rock Jazz Band.
We can't wait to see you there!
