Time traveling back to the Roaring Twenties is a helluva lot easier than you'd think. This past weekend, more than 4,500 men, women, and kids did just that at the Jazz Age Lawn Party on New York's Governors Island. And we were there to capture it all.

This weekend Governors Island went back in time to the 1920s for one of its annual Jazz Age Lawn Parties. Michael Arnalla and his Dreamland Orchestra provided the soundtrack, and experts and amateurs alike took to the dance floor to dance the Charleston. Ladies and gents (and even tots) really committed to their Gatsby-esque looks, and we even spotted some seamed stockings despite the sweltering heat. Those ladies get bonus points.
