Summer Jazz and Blues by the Bay concerts are held each Friday from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Gabrielson Park in downtown Sausalito from June through the end of August. These concerts are free of charge (thanks to generous local sponsors).
Produced by the Sausalito Parks and Recreation Dept., the concerts feature local jazz and blues performers. Food and beverages are sold on site by local non-profit groups, or you can bring your own or shop at local stores, deli's and restaurants.
Insiders Tip: If you haven't reserved a table via the Park and Rec Department phone number below (which we think is still a bargain in this day of expensive concerts) be sure to get there early. The prime open spaces seem to fill up earlier every year.
For Sausalito residents, season passes with reserved tables are available, and are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Non-Residents pay higer fees. A limited number of Reserved tables are made available by the City each week on a one-time basis, only by advance reservation. You can call the Sausalito Recreation office for more information or to make a reservation at 415-289-4152.
Concerts are recorded and rebroadcast each week on Radio Sausalito on AM1610, which can also be accessed online and via podcast.
