All that Jazz

Every Thursday, from June to September, Cathedral Square hosts a free event called Jazz in the Park.  Jazz in the Park is an outdoor summer music series which usually features a mix of jazz, funk, R&B reggae and blues.  The performers range from locals to global performers. The music starts at 6 and ends at 9 but you can (and should) come early to snag a seat and partake in the happy hour drink specials.  You may have heard that you can carry in your own wine and beer, this used to be true, but is no longer allowed.  In recent times, I believe since 2009, they have asked that you "leave your adult beverages at home" and purchase them at the concert because the proceeds from sales help offset the cost of the event.  There are many vendors, and I do believe the prices are "fair.  I encourage you to pack a picnic and a blanket but those coming straight from work or who prefer to buy their meals at the concert there are vendors selling food as well, not to mention the Metro Market is just down the street with an amazing deli.   So grab a blanket and some friends and come on down to the social event of the evening!
