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 (see map below) from early June through the end of August. These concerts are free of charge for lawn seating, and you can also buy single or season-long tables for your very own Jazz and Blues by the Bay picnic.

Produced by the Sausalito Parks and Recreation Dept., the Jazz and Blues by the Bay concerts feature top local performers. Food and beverages are sold on site by local non-profit groups, or you can bring your own. If the fog rolls in, event sweatshirts and t-shirts are available, and a fleece and nylon stadium blanket is only $10.
This year’s best-known Jazz and Blues by the Bay performers are Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, who were international stars on a parallel path to Tower of Power in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Concerts are recorded and rebroadcast each week on Radio Sausalito on AM1610, which can also be accessed online and via podcast.
