Girl, get ready to celebrate 27 years of Jazz on the Lawn with Joe Gransden, his amazing big band, and the special guest singer Maria Howell! This is going to be a night of smooth tunes and good vibes, presented by Audi Atlanta.
You’ll be chilling at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center in their beautiful outdoor amphitheater, which is just a super intimate spot to relax with your friends. You can bring your own blankets, chairs, food, and even drinks. If you want to elevate your experience, grab a VIP table, or you can just kick back on the lawn with general admission.
This particular show is on Friday, October 9, 2026, and it’s the last one of the season, so you don’t want to miss it. Doors open and check-in starts at 6:30 PM, with the concert kicking off at 7:30 PM and wrapping up around 9:30 PM. It’s the perfect length for a fun night out without being too late.
Now, let’s talk tickets and what kind of night you’re looking for. General Admission means you bring your low-profile lawn chairs or a blanket and find your spot on the grass. Definitely bring your own snacks and drinks, but Callanwolde will have beer, wine, water, and soft drinks available for purchase. This is a great option for a casual date night, a girls’ night out, or even a solo chill-out session.
If you’re feeling fancy, grab a VIP Table. These are reserved tables with a tablecloth and chairs, located on the first few tiers of the amphitheater, giving you the best seats in the house. VIP tickets also include on-site parking at Callanwolde’s Orange Lot, which is a major plus. For bigger groups, you can even get group tickets. If you have 10 guests, email info@callanwolde.org for a discount code, and for 30+ guests, you get private access to the Hydrangea Garden to celebrate. This is perfect for a special occasion or a big get-together with your crew.
A heads-up on parking: if you have VIP tickets, a prepaid parking pass, or a disability permit, you can park at Callanwolde’s Orange Lot. Otherwise, you’ll need to park at Metro City Church, which is a short 0.3-mile walk across the street. Consider bringing a wagon for your things if you’re parking there. Rideshare apps are also a good option. Just remember, traffic on campus is one-way, so no turning around. Ticket sales are final, but if Callanwolde cancels, you’ll get a refund. So grab your crew, your comfy gear, and get ready for some amazing jazz!
