What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to bring together Black people over 50 who enjoy socializing, exploring new places and experiences. Us 50+ folks still like to get out there and enjoy life too! Events will be held locally within the Baltimore/Washington area. This group is for you if you have the desire to explore and do not want to do it alone.
Below are the group rules:
1) There is a zero No-Show policy. Please RSVP to events when you are sure you can participate, and if you must cancel, please do so in a timely manner and/or connect with the event host in a timely manner. Individuals who RSVP and do not attend or communicate with the event host, are subject to immediate removal from the group.
2) A current photo of members is required (and please do not add a photo from childhood or 20 to 30 years ago). This way, the group Organizer and members can put a face to a name and the group feels a bit more personal. Exceptions will be made (e.g., photo of flowers, paintings) for those that are already well known to the group Organizer personally.
3) Inactive members who do not participate in events or log onto the group website are subject to removal after three months of inactivity.

I will be in the Reserve Level lounge area about 20 minutes before the show to get concessions. The Reserve Level features a full bar, lounge, and VIP seating in five of the auditoriums. There is a full-service kitchen, and you can either wait for your order or they will deliver to your seat. A medium sized popcorn comes with the Reserve Level ticket.

Held each year during Black Music Month since 1993, the Capital Jazz Fest is one of the premier black music events in the country, featuring over 30 acts over three days. The Pavilion Stage features contemporary jazz, while the Symphony Woods Stage (dark on Friday) features R&B/soul music from the old-school and the new!
I am posting this event as an FYI as it might be difficult to schedule as an official meetup due to everyone’s preference for the different seating options. I definitely plan to attend the Capital Jazz Fest in 2025.
Three seating options:
Pavilion (most expensive option)
Lawn (directly behind the pavilion)
Lawn seating throughout the groundsOnline ticket sales start at 4/5/25 at 10am
Talent Lineup:
Talent Lineup – Capital Jazz FestDoors open at 10am with the show starting at 12 noon.
I have attended the Capital Jazz Fest most years for the past two decades. I have sat in all three seating options over the years and have now settled on pavilion seating for the past several years. There are benefits to all three seating options; however, the event is held rain or shine, and the pavilion provides cover in the event of heavy rains or brutally hot sun.
I paid $202.85 (ticket plus insurance) for Saturday and Sunday for a total of $405.70 for pavilion seating this year, for anyone interested in pavilion seating.
