With all the nice weather(for the moment), what better way to really enjoy it than sitting outdoors listening to some groovy jazz! I went there with a friend and found good and safe parking only a few steps from Lock 4. Lock 4 opened last year and is just a bit smaller than Lock 3, but the acoustics are amazing! You could sit on the grassy sloped area or bring your own chair. I saw several patrons with coolers, but there were food vendors as well. I could take away .925 of a star for the canal odor, but the ambiance, the music and the positive laid-back vibe of the event made me forget the stench. Jazz and blues fans are such an eclectic mix of folk… hippies, yuppies, young and old. Everyone seemed like they were having real fun. I definitely will be back again and again and again!
