Presented by Downtown Collingwood, the Wednesday night "Jazz at The Station" concert series continues to grow in popularity. BIA General Manager Sue Nicholson says the Wednesday night concerts allow people to visit the downtown during the late afternoon and evening hours, something they may not otherwise do. Nicholson says many people arrive early to have dinner at one of the downtown restaurants prior to attending the jazz event. "Many people make a night of it, and that's terrific" Nicholson says. Frank McNulty of JBG Promotions books the talent and organizes the event. McNulty says the groups that you'll see every Wednesday night are true professionals and offer many different types of music for you to enjoy throughout the summer season.
