Hot Jazz, Cool Treats!

Slip on your walking shoes and enjoy sweets + sounds at Dufflet Beach (1917 Queen St. E., just east of Woodbine) while the annual Beaches International Jazz Festival wraps up this weekend with Streetfest.

Drop by our sidewalk table and check out our sweet jazz-themed butter shapes, Augie's gourmet ice pops, and iced lemonades to go. (and be sure to say hi to Kylee and Ashley!)

Beaches Jazz StreetFest also means that Queen Street East becomes a giant pedestrian mall (and closed to traffic) from 6pm to 11:30pm on the nights of Thursday July 26, Friday July 27, and Saturday July 28. Info on getting around can be found at http://www.beachesjazz.com/directions.html#roaddetails

http://www.beachesjazz.com/streetfest.html is the place to visit to check out bandshell listings for Woodbine Park, Kew Gardens and all along Queen Street East this weekend.

Dufflet Beach is the place to start! Grab something sweet to nibble + sip and have a Beaches Jazz good time!
