ABOUT THE ANACOSTIA JAZZ HOP
ANACOSTIA JAZZ HOP RETURNS FRIDAY, SEPT 2ND, 12PM - 8PM
Free outdoor concerts presented by the Anacostia Arts and Culture District, Anacostia BID,
and DC's JazzFest's Jazz In The 'Hoods presented by Events DC
WASHINGTON, DC – The Anacostia Business Improvement District has partnered with the DC202Creates and DC JazzFest's Jazz in the 'Hoods, presented by Events DC, on Friday, September 2, 2022, for the ANACOSTIA JAZZ HOP from 12 pm to 8 pm at several locations in Historic Anacostia including Sandlot Anacostia. All events are free and open to the public.
In celebration of the 18th Annual DC JazzFest, this is the first time Jazz in the 'Hoods will be in the official Anacostia Arts and Culture District. Attendees to Historic Anacostia's flourishing arts district will be treated to the neighborhood's charm, music, and arts offerings at various creative hubs - from dynamic jazz performances at the Anacostia Arts Center to artistic expressions and exhibits at Busboys and Poets. In addition, everyone will delight in the PopUp outdoor jazz cafes with live jazz, visual artists, and the opportunity to have tasty bites from up-and-coming chefs and caterers.
The event kicks off at noon at Café Jazz for opening remarks and live performances. Concurrently, the jazz Hop, a variety of dynamic performances, will begin at six locations within the Anacostia BID: the NSC Café Jazz (2007 MLK, Ave SE), BIG Jazz Café (1234 Good Hope Rd SE), Busboys and Poets (2004 MLK, Ave SE), Check-It Enterprises (1920 MLK, Ave SE), Martha's Outfitters (2204 MLK, Ave SE) and the Anacostia Arts Center (1231 Good Hope Rd SE).
Jazz lovers can expect a unique cultural experience featuring local performers, visual artists, delicious cuisine, art, retail, and more! The organizers would like to thank National Service Contractors, and Martha's Outfitters for generously allowing the use of their lots for this special event.
"We are thrilled to partner with Mayor Bowser's administration to host the JazzHop as part of the DC JazzFest "Jazz in the 'Hoods" in the Anacostia Arts and Culture District," said Kristina Noell, Executive Director of the Anacostia BID. "It promises to be a rich, diverse cultural experience in the heart of the District, Anacostia. The Anacostia BID welcomes all across the District and the region to this day-long event in one of DC's most unique and diverse communities."
