Free Jazz Concerts Every Summer Friday

This summer, you can enjoy a free jazz concert every Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the National Gallery Sculpture Garden. The first concert is Friday, May 18, and there will be a concert every Friday, unless there is rain that day, until August 24. This is a great event for the whole family! Bring a picnic and a blanket so you can get comfortable. We suggest getting to the Sculpture Garden before 5:00 to make sure you get a good spot.
