Jazz in the Park – St Simons Island, Georgia
Jazz in the Parks Concerts are planned for high tide Sundays (for maximum breeze and comfort!), the concerts draw hundreds of people to the lawn of St. Simons Island Lighthouse for one of the most pleasant and entertaining evenings you can spend in the Golden Isles.
All concerts are from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children 6-12, and free for kids under 6. Bring a chair or blanket to relax on, a picnic summer, your favorite beverage – and of course, all your friends for the high-tide event that’s become a Golden Isles tradition.
Another hugely popular act from last year with a team of expert musicians under the direction of hot trumpeter J. B. Scott, playing traditional jazz from swing to mellow, and featuring the beautiful vocals of Lisa Kelly.
Call 912-262-6934 for information.
