Jazz in the Garden
DC’s favorite summer concert series returns with a variety of performances including jazz, Latin fusion, R&B, and more. Join us in the Sculpture Garden on Fridays from May 23 through July 11 (no concert July 4).
To give everyone an equal chance of attending this popular program, we offer registration through a lottery. The lottery takes place the week before each event. It opens on Monday at 10:00 a.m. and closes Friday at noon. We notify all lottery entrants whether they were selected to register the Monday before each program. If selected, you’re welcome to register for up to 4 passes. Registration is required for ages 2 and up.
Not selected? We offer limited day-of passes via signs at the Sculpture Garden entrances, starting at 5:00 p.m.
