Summer is Here!

And here's how you know:  Jazz in the Garden is back!  Every Friday, from now until August 31st, you can head over for the free concert series from 5p-8:30p.  Last year, we wrote about the increased enforcement of the no-alcohol rules - and we believe they'll still be searching bags for your secret stash.

We know we're a Penn Quarter blog, but we think that The Yards Park Friday concert series is a better deal.  The music is better, it's on the river, the crowd is more fun, and you can bring whatever you like.

If you're not into packing a picnic, Yards Park always has a good selection of food trucks on hand for the concerts - for example, tonight is Buzz Bakery (cupcakes), Stix (kebobs), and local favorite Frank by Red Apron (gourmet hot dogs).  Churchkey will also be on hand with Port City Optimal Wit, Oskar Blues Mama Little Yella Pils, Lost Rhino MIG and DC Brau Hells Bottom (those are all beers, if you were wondering).   Plus - it ekes a few more weeks out of the summer and ends on September 14th.
