A Midsummer Night's Jazz is the mid-July show, set at the height of the summer when the evening light at the Cascades runs long past the last tune. It returns from the 2026 season, where it was one of the best-attended nights of the year.
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.
