Pull out your linen blazers and your flowered frocks, because July 22 is the "Summer Soiree 2004," a junior benefit for the Campaign for Prospect Park. The soiree, featuring music spun by Southpaw DJs, dancing and hors d’oeuvres, will be held at the park’s 1905 Beaux Arts boathouse.

The benefit, which seeks to attract park supporters in their 20s and 30s, is co-chaired by Emma Bloomberg, the mayor’s daughter and his representative on the park alliance’s board of directors, and Sally Singer of Vogue magazine.

Popular attractions at last year’s soiree, which will be back again on Thursday, will be free rides around the Lullwater on the electric boat Independence and a silent auction. The Campaign for Prospect Park aims to raise $116 million for park restoration and maintenance, so bring your friends. (To date, $94.5 million has been raised.)

The event begins at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $50 and $75 (and up) for admission and Alliance membership benefits. For more information, call (718) 965-8988 or (718) 965-8965.
