Special to 1812Blockhouse

The Renaissance Performing Arts Association and Buckeye Imagination Museum are thrilled to present Jazz & Friends, a free pop-up jazz concert featuring the Artistic Jazz Orchestra. The event will take place on Friday, August 16 at 6:00 PM at Renaissance Plaza, located in the heart of Mansfield’s Imagination District.

Nestled between the Renaissance Theatre and Theatre 166 on Park Avenue, Renaissance Plaza will transform into a lively outdoor venue, offering a perfect summer evening for music lovers of all ages. Attendees will be treated to the rich, captivating rhythms of Mansfield’s own Artistic Jazz Orchestra, known for their engaging performances and dynamic sound.

This special event is more than just a concert. In collaboration with Buckeye Imagination Museum, the evening will also feature the museum’s signature Imagination Stations, where children can explore and create, along with giant lawn games that promise fun for the whole family. Adults can enjoy locally brewed beers from Phoenix Brewing Company, making this truly a community gathering.

“We’re excited to bring this unique experience to our community,” said Chelsie Thompson, President & CEO of the Renaissance Performing Arts Association. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy great music, bring your friends, and simply relax in a beautiful outdoor setting.”

Jazz & Friends is a free event, open to the public, and designed to be a casual, come-as-you-are experience. Whether you’re a jazz enthusiast or just looking for a fun, family-friendly evening, this event is sure to be a highlight of the summer.
