The Twin Cities Jazz Festival returns to St. Paul June 18 - 20. Festivities kick off with Jazz Night Out, a substantial pub-crawl encompasing 15 locations in downtown St. Paul that’ll have you scatting yourself in no time. Participants include the brand new Barrio as well as The Bulldog and Artists’ Quarter. Acts begin taking stage at 8:30 p.m.

All you have to do is purchase a button for $15 here or at participating bars. Not only will it enhance your  wardrobe, but you’ll also receive a trolley ride (six rides run from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.), as well as featured drink specials and free admission to the bars and clubs participating in the crawl. Visit hotsummerjazz.com for a complete list of artists and bars.

The fest continues through the weekend, with performances in Mears Park and surrounding areas.

Jazz hands!
