Idyllwild Arts Jazz in the Pines

Looking for an excuse to get out town this weekend? Jazz aficionados and music lovers can flock to the San Jacinto Mountains for the Jazz in the Pines music festival—which enters its 30th and final year. Nestled in the charming mountain village of Idyllwild, the outdoor summer concert kicks runs from June 30 to July 13 at the Idyllwild Arts Academy (52500 Temecula Rd). Grab a picnic blanket, score a spot on the open field and lend your ear to performers set against a backdrop of pine trees. All festival proceeds will go towards the Idyllwild Arts.
