jazz in the garden

Posted on 03. Jun, 2009 by janelle in socialite

I first read about jazz in the sculptural gardens on DC neighborhood blog, Prince of Petworth.

What:

The National Gallery of Art offers jazz performances at its outdoor café every Friday evening throughout the summer. You can have dinner (and a cocktail) while listening to great music. The gardens where the jazz performances are held contain 17 works of 20th-century sculpture and flowering trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and perennials. It’s best to arrive early so you can grab a good spot. In the event of inclement weather, concerts are held inside the Pavilion Café

How much?

FREE!!! So {budget}fab*…

Where:

National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, 7th and Constitution NW, Washington, DC. The nearest Metro stations are Archives/Navy Memorial, Smithsonian and Judiciary Square.
