Opening Night is the first outdoor show of the summer and the start of the Cascades season. The pavilion, the waterfalls, the pond, the long June light — this is the show that sets the pattern every other Sunday follows through September.
Every show in this season is an Open Stage. Jazzmania holds the rhythm section and core lineup, and musicians and vocalists are invited to join us and perform with the band. Bring a horn, bring a chart, or bring a tune you want to sing — the format is the same one that carried the 2026 season, and it makes for a different show every time.
The Cascades at Stone Manse is the open-air pavilion in Allegheny County's South Park. Free admission, no tickets required — bring a folding chair, a blanket, snacks, and the kids. The show streams live and free on The Encore for anyone who cannot make it out.
