12th annual jazz concert returns to Robbins Farm Park
The Friends of Robbins Farm Park present the 12th annual Harvard Alumni Jazz Band Concert, set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 15, after missing last summer because of the pandemic.
Join us on for a free jazz concert by the 15-piece band with members from Arlington and surrounding communities.
After a few years at the nearby Park Circle Water Tower, inlkuding the last concert, in 2019, those involved are pleased that the concert returns to the usual venue, Robbins Farm Park.
Enjoy the music of Count Basie, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis and many others.
The concert is free, thanks to the generosity of the band, which includes neighborhood resident Allen Feinstein.
Bring a picnic dinner.
