City Park Jazz – Tribute to Freddy Rodriguez Sr. (Jazz Connection)

City Park Jazz heads into its 28th season with a great lineup of FREE Sunday concerts in the park. Spanning 10 weeks across June, July and August, the collection of local musicians in this year’s lineup crosses cultures, styles and genres in a way that reflects the musical and cultural diversity of Denver. So pack a picnic or pick up some dinner along Colfax Ave. or 17th before heading into the park and don’t forget a picnic blanket or lawn chairs. These concerts are fun for all ages and a great way to spend a summer evening in the city.
