Boston’s biggest block party returns for its twelfth year with six hours of free,
family-friendly jazz performances by over 15 artists on three outdoor stages.
This year, the Berklee BeanTown Jazz Festival, presented by Natixis Global Asset
Management, celebrates women in jazz, featuring free concerts by some of the
genre’s most acclaimed female artists. Festival highlights include performances
by new Grammy Award winner and Boston native Terri Lyne Carrington, Lalah
Hathaway, and Paula Cole. Kids are welcome to explore their musical side at
the “instrument petting zoo” within the Natixis Family Park. Festival goers
won’t leave with empty stomachs; BeanTown is home to vendors offering foods
from all over the world. For more info and a full performance schedule, head to
