FREE Community Jazz Concert - Picture a perfect Miami Sunday early evening: the breeze off Biscayne Bay as the sun begins to set, blankets spread across the grass, crave-worthy bites from local vendors, and world-class jazz filling the park. Sunday Jazz in the Park is a free, feel-good community concert featuring an unforgettable live performance by Gerald Albright and Tito Puente Jr. Bring your dogs and kids! With neighbors and friends gathering together, and music that moves effortlessly from smooth to soulful, it’s a true “bring your blanket and stay awhile” kind of afternoon and early evening—joyful, relaxed, and unmistakably Miami.
