Free Latin Jazz concert tonight in Chestnut Hill

Hooray for July! It’s that essential time of summer meant for sitting back and enjoying outdoor concerts with good friends. Everyone in Philly knows that. Join the laid back, free Wednesday night concerts already in full swing at Pastorius Park.

 

Tonight
