Lancaster Avenue Jazz & Arts Festival In-Person
The Lancaster Avenue Jazz & Arts Festival will take over Saunders Park Greene, the small but bustling park behind Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, on Saturday, July 20, between noon and 7 p.m. The free annual event aims to celebrate West Philadelphia and, naturally, jazz with performances from area musicians. This year's headliner is the Jamaaladeen Tacuma Quintet featuring Odean Pope. Both Tacuma, a bassist, and Pope, a saxophonist, are veteran Philadelphia jazz artists with well over a century of combined experience. Other performers include the Joe Block Quintet, Timothy Vaughan Inside Outside Ensemble, Mollie Ducoste, Deborah Smith and Glenn Bryan & Friends. The festival will welcome food trucks and local vendors into the park, which will also offer activities for kids.
