The inaugural St. Louis Post-Dispatch Chesterfield Jazz Festival takes place outside at the stylish, new Chesterfield Amphitheater located in West County's lush Central Park on Saturday, June 15, 2013 from 2-10 p.m.
The event features five-time Grammy nominated pianist David Benoit and #1 Billboard saxophonist Paul Taylor, along with Bach to the Future featuring the Silverman brothers, the St. Louis Jazz All-Stars in a John Coltrane Tribute and Jeanne Trevor.
What makes this jazz festival different is its outdoor setting, and unobstructed performance views. In between sets, jazz fans can enjoy nature trails around the lake, savor multi-cultural foods (Asian, Sushi, Burgers, Italian, Desserts) and refresh with wine, beer, or spirits.
Family-oriented recreational activities include face painting, music lessons, and spectacular fireworks at the end of the night!
Bring your lawn chairs and blankets for lawn seats ($20). No coolers, picnics, or glass will be allowed inside the amphitheater. Guests will receive in and out privileges. Tickets are on sale at http://metrotix.com/r.php?action=event&eventId=5688
