Jazz in the Park : Depot Town Big Band
July 8 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
Nothing says summer quite like enjoying live music in a beautiful park! This July, The Village Arts Factory invites you to sit back, relax, and soak in summer at Jazz in the Park, a Wednesday evening concert series set in Preservation Park. For the kick off on July 8th, spend an evening with the Depot Town Big Band!
Depot Town Big Band is a traditional 19-piece Big Band from Ypsilanti, MI. Their sound draws from the legends, like the timeless swing of Count Basie, the elegance of Glenn Miller, the fire of Maynard Ferguson, and the innovation of Thad Jones. You’ll also hear the influence of modern masters like Tom Kubis, Gordon Goodwin, and even Koji Kondo — because great music transcends genre.

Bring your lawn chairs, family, friends, and your appetite! Each week, enjoy live performances in an open-air park, paired with great bites from local food vendors and cold brews at the beer tent. While the music sets the mood, families can explore a themed hands-on art activity every week, making this a great evening for all ages!
