Jazz-InTheForest-October2017

The 2017 Jazz in the Forest series continues with two performances (4:30pm & 7:00pm) on Saturday, October 14 with Jeannine Guillory-Kane with Jean Pierre Thoma and the Jazztones.

The Wine and Beer Room will be open for attendees to enjoy before and after the concert. And as usual, an area has been set aside for dancing, so you don’t have to stay in your seat when the band starts to swing and you’re moved to your feet.

Two shows will be offered, with a matinee at 4:30pm and an evening performance at 7:00pm. Tickets for the evening show are $18 for VAC members ($20 non-members)! Ticket holders will be able to purchase Volcano Red Ale and Mauna Kea Pale Ale from Mehana Brewing Company & as well as wine before each performance. Great pupu by ʻŌhelo Café will also be available for purchase.

Tickets are available for sale online (click to be directed to the ticket page!) at VAC’s Administration Office in Volcano Village and VAC Gallery in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.

The last day to purchase tickets online is Friday, October 13. After that, tickets will be sold at VAC Gallery & at the door if they are not sold out. Tickets will be held at Will Call on the day of the show. OR, you may pick them up any day before the show at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus Administrative Office, Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
