Berklee BeanTown Outdoor Jazz Festival

This is one of my favorite festivals in Boston each year because it draws such an incredibly diverse crowd of people from all over the area, from all walks of life and because it a celebration of really good music. This year's festival (which is held on Columbus Ave. in the South End) falls on Sept. 24th and "celebrates Global Music and Nature, featuring musical styles and artists from around the globe in an outdoor setting."
