Traditionally,  Jazz in the Garden takes place in the Sculpture Garden on the grounds of the National Gallery of Art every Friday evening starting mid-May and continuing through August (check concert listing for dates).

An eclectic mix of music is performed by top Washington-area artists. During jazz concerts, the Pavilion Café offers a special menu of creative American cuisine and refreshments. Alcoholic beverages may not be brought into the Sculpture Garden but may be purchased at the café. Admission is free.
