U.S. Navy Memorial Celebrates The U.s. Coast Guard’s 222nd Birthday August 7, 2012

In celebration of the United States Coast Guard's 222nd birthday, the U.S. Navy Memorial will host the United States Coast Guard Dixieland Jazz Band for a special birthday performance during the 2012 Concerts on the Avenue series. The five-member group was organized in 1970 to perform classic jazz, blues and rags with a “New Orleans” flavor and has since entertained audiences across the globe.

The concert will begin at 8:00pm in the Outdoor Plaza.
