Talented jazz artists such as
Veronica Swift
and
Arturo Sandoval
have been scheduled to perform at various concert venues throughout the city. The JAS Cafe provides music lovers with the opportunity to experience jazz music of the highest quality while savoring the delights of delicious foods and beverages.

The Labor Day concert provides guests with access to spacious grass-covered grounds which allow concertgoers to spread out a blanket and rest comfortably throughout the event.
