Peratrovich Park | Anchorage, AK

Anchorage is one of the most diverse cities in the United States, and with downtown being the city's epicenter of arts and culture, it comes as no surprise that the local jazz scene is thriving and ever-growing. We are excited to once again partner with the Alaska Jazz Workshop to bring the world of jazz right downtown to 4th Ave. Come and experience Anchorage's diverse and electrifying jazz scene with like-minded attendees in a small and intimate setting at the Peratrovich Park stage!
