*Mark Meadows performing at the Petworth Jazz Project*

The best recurring outdoor jazz series in DC is on again this Saturday, September 24th at Petworth Park (8th & Taylor Streets NW). This Petworth Jazz Project once again features the amazing music of Mark Meadows, the dance of Petworth Dance Project, kids' music by Baba Ras D, food by Chik's Chik'n Food Truck and pre-show, in-between and post-show music by DJ Unknown (Richard Patterson).

Mark Meadows played the Jazz Project last July, and it was a phenomenal show. A very talented musician, Meadows recently completed a critically acclaimed run performing as Jelly Roll Morton in Signature Theater's "Jelly's Last Jam." (See pictures of his performance from the July 2015 Petworth Jazz Project.)

The Petworth Dance Project will also be on-hand to showcase the Classical Ballet Theater and the Hand Dance Association.

Grab a picnic dinner from one of the local restaurants, or enjoy Chik's Chik'n food truck from 5-8pm. (Remember, no dogs or alcohol — and carry out what you bring in!)

The final Petworth Jazz Project will be next month, rescheduling the rained-out July show.

Schedule:
4:30pm: DJ Unkown
5pm: Baba Ras D (kids music)
6pm: Petworth Dance Project presents Classical Ballet Theater and the Hand Dance Association
7pm: Mark G. Meadows

The "fashion scene" in Petworth: interviews with a wink to Fashion Fest and NY's Fashion Week

Sep 9, 2016

On Saturday, August 27th, during the awesome Petworth Jazz Project, on what was a hot and humid 93 degree day, I walked around talking to neighbors about fashion, capturing it on video. What I found is a crowd of neighbors who love to consider fashion, and a bunch that don't give it a second thought. And while the New York Fashion Week may not be the number one thing on their minds, it was obvious that enjoying a sense of community (and great music) was high on the list. And Saturday is the Petworth Fashion Fest on Upshur Street.

The final Petworth Jazz Project of the 2015 season was Saturday, September 26th. This time it was a combo event with the Petworth Dance Project, giving Petworth's newest cultural program some much needed exposure.

As I've said before, these two shows are really stand-out events that help make Petworth a wonderful neighborhood. See the full (and quite large) photo gallery, after the break.

You know Summer is coming to an end when the Petworth Jazz Project has its season finale show. But don't frown, this show sounds like it'll be awesome.

It's also a combo show with the Petworth Dance Project, which was rained out a couple of weeks back. Between Baba Ras D for the kids (and c'mon, you like him too), Dance, Jazz and some tasty Timber Pizza, Petworth Park is going to be THE place to be on Saturday night, September 26th.
