Every Friday evening from late May through mid July, the National Gallery of Art's outdoor Sculpture Garden comes alive with musical performances ranging from jazz to Afro-Cuban and bluegrass.
This year, NGA is using a free lottery system so that anyone interested in attending Jazz in the Garden has an equal chance to participate. Each concert will have its own lottery, which will open the week prior on Monday at 10am and close that Friday at noon. Results of each lottery will be emailed to all entrants the week of the concert on Monday at 10am. Registration is required for all ages 2 and above.
See the website for the full lineup.
