Prince George’s Centric Events

May 30, 2014 By: Ceemaccomment

Created with Microsoft Fresh Paint I don’t usually do this because, quite frankly, this is a lot of work and a LOT of free advertising for events for which this little blogger gets zilch in return.  But in the spirit of Memorial Day where hearts are grateful and sunshine is palpable, I’ll post a couple of events happening this weekend and beyond.  I must say this, there seems to be a trend of very booze centered events happening in our area.  Please note that I have titled this “Prince George’s Centric Events” because not all of them take place in the county.

Friday, May 30th

Music NotesDowntown Live! Silver Spring Concert Series, 6:30p every Friday until August 29th.  Tonight’s band is the Dixie Power Trio.  Come to the Foutain Plaza Stage at Silver Spring’s Town Center, 908 Ellsworth Drive, Silver Spring MD.  Contact for information (301) 587-0867.

National Gallery of Art’s Jazz in the Garden Series continues tonight with a performance by jazz harmonica player Bruce Ewan; sounds interesting.  Concerts are every Friday evening from 5p – 8:30, May 23rd to August 29th.  See website for performers.  Food (barbecue pork sandwiches, beef/chicken kabobs, chicken sausages)  and beverages, to include beer, cocktails, and sangria (booze) are for sale. Gelat-o cart near the fountain is especially for your indulgent pleasure.  I’m glad to announce that this event is actually FREE!! National Gallery of Art is located on the National Mall between 3rd and 9th Streets NW along Constitution Avenue, NW
