1927 Harvest Moon Ball Amateur Dance
Championships
Central Park (Originally called Madison Square Gardens
Park), New York. |
This year was the original "idea"
of the Harvest moon ball and its first location was held in Central
Park and it proved a success. It was cancelled the next few years,
waiting until Madison Square Garden was built. The contest was
tried again in 1934 at the park, but was dangerously overcrowded
and LaGuardia shut it down. The following year it was finally
at Madison Square Garden. |
