Great Escape: Jazz on the Lawn

Add some ambiance to your romantic summer picnics with these local concerts.

It’s all there: blanket, tasty food packed in basket, beautiful surroundings. Everything you need for romantic picnic with your honey. Everything except music. Music would make it just that much more romantic, wouldn’t it? And live music? Live jazz music? Well, that would make the date the epitome of summer romance.

Thanks to our very own City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs, you needn’t trouble yourself with hiring a jazz band for your picnic. Every Sunday this August starting at 5 p.m., head down to our lovely l for the annual Jazz on the Lawn. Just bring your picnic, your blanket, your honey, and you are all set.

Want to hear the music stylings of such artists as the Tony Guerrero Quintet and the Electones but no one to watch the kids? Bring them along to enjoy the music or let the teen up the block earn her babysitting stripes. Or check out BabySitterSantaMonica.com.
