5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The Jazz in the Garden Series is in its 11th season. 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 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, rain or shine.
Refreshments from the Pavilion Cafe
A special menu of appetizers, entrees, and salads is available inside the Pavilion Cafe, while an outdoor grill provides barbecue pork sandwiches, beef and chicken kabobs, Italian sausages, and salmon sandwiches. A gelato cart is also conveniently located near the fountain. A variety of beverages—beer, wine, sangria, mixed drinks, and soda—is sold on-site.
Pick Up a Picnic Basket
Savvy concertgoers may skip the lines and avoid the hassle of bringing their own picnics by preordering the Pavilion Cafe's signature Jazz in the Garden Picnic Basket. At a budget-conscious $30, the keepsake basket (serving two) offers artisanal bread baguettes, meats, and such cheeses as Wensleydale cranberry and smoked Gouda, gourmet dips and spreads flavored with smoked salmon and artichoke, fresh summer fruits, and bottled Saratoga water. Wine by the bottle can be included for an additional price. Guests may preorder baskets and wines by the bottle online or by calling (202) 289-3360. Baskets may also be purchased at the Pavilion Cafe, availability permitting. Alcoholic beverages may not be brought to the premises from outside and are subject to confiscation.
In case of inclement weather, concerts are held inside the Pavilion Cafe. To learn more about Jazz in the Garden concerts and performers, please call (202) 289-3360.
