We proudly announce our summer jazz series Jazz in July - four Thursday evenings of great jazz under the summer sky.

The programs are single-set offerings by some of the finest jazz artists in the Twin Cities. Admission is free, thanks to generous underwriting by area businesses. All programs begin at 7 pm and last 60-75 minutes.

Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and set up around our beautiful Rain Garden while you listen to some of the finest professional jazz musicians in the Twin Cities.
