Jazz @ Met - National Landing’s free outdoor concert series

Back for another season, Jazz @ Met returns to Metropolitan Park with a free outdoor concert series celebrating the energy of live jazz in the heart of National Landing. Hosted by the National Landing BID and presented in partnership with the DC Jazz Festival, with support from Amazon, the series kicks off Thursday, May 7, and continues every other Thursday through June 18. The lineup highlights a dynamic mix of local and internationally inspired talent, with performances ranging from New Orleans jazz and Brazilian rhythms to go-go–influenced sets and acoustic showcases. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs and enjoy onsite offerings like Toby’s Homemade Ice Cream and complimentary beverages from Mocktail Club, along with interactive art experiences curated by artists from the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington Innovation Studio. Attendees can also explore Met Park’s dining destinations before, during, or after the performances. Featured artists include The JoGo Project (May 7), Joe Brotherton (May 21), Eric Byrd Trio (June 4), and José Luiz Martins (June 18).
