Independence Day lands on a Sunday in 2027, which puts it exactly on a Cascades show night. Stars, Stripes and Standards is the Fourth of July edition of the series — the American songbook on the American holiday, outdoors, for free.
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.
