Free New Orleans style concert on the National Mall this weekend.
Wanna get down and dirty NOLA style? No need to book a flight, just catch the metro down to the mall this weekend and enjoy the sounds of New Orleans (thanks to the Duke Ellington Jazz Festival).
On Friday, June 12, at 7:30 pm, the Nation’s Capitol will be treated to the soulful sounds of the Terence Blanchard Quintet. Then on Saturday the Duke Ellington Orchestra and the Don Vappie & the Creole Serenaders will keep the party going. And on Sunday get your dancing shoes ready for some zydeco.
Getting there: take the Metro to the Smithsonian stop on the Blue/Orange lines, exit at Independence Avenue and proceed east. Festivities will take place at Sylvan Theater, Washington Monument grounds, southeast corner.
Admission: FREE
