Jazz in the Garden

The Jazz in the Garden Series begins its 10th season May 28. The free concert series features an array of jazz artists performing a range of styles—from swing to progressive to Latin—every Friday evening from 5:00 to 8:30 at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, rain or shine.

In case of inclement weather, concerts are held inside the Pavilion Café. To learn more about Jazz in the Garden concerts and performers, please call (202) 289-3360. For other musical events at the Gallery please see our current listing.

Skip the lines by preordering a keepsake basket that serves two. American picnic fare includes Saratoga water, summer sausage and cheese, fresh-baked artisan breads, two gourmet spreads, and local seasonal fruit. The basket also contains a stamped postcard of an American masterpiece from the Gallery's collection, a pen, and a current Calendar of Events.

To order the baskets and wines by the bottle, click here or call (202) 289-3360 by 6:00 p.m. on the prior Wednesday.

Alcoholic beverages brought from outside are prohibited in the Sculpture Garden and are subject to confiscation. Large coolers and tables are not allowed.
