All concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Jefferson Township Gazebo, located at the Municipal Building Complex, 1033 Weldon Road, Oak Ridge. In the event of rain, performances will move indoors to the Jefferson Township High School auditorium.

The 2026 series opens with the Jefferson Township Community Concert and Jazz Bands under the direction of Peter A. Tummillo Jr., continuing a long-standing Jefferson tradition of community music and entertainment.

Residents are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets, along with family and friends, to enjoy an evening of live music in a relaxed outdoor setting.
