NEMPAC’s Jazz in the Park Summer Series
returns to the Greenway with 5 Incredible Musical Acts!
The concert on Thursday, August 7th will feature Mercedes Escobar.
The North End Music & Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC) returns to the Rose Kennedy Greenway for its 2025 Jazz in the Park Summer Concert Series on Thursday Nights July 10 through August 7. Artistically directed by Stefano Marchese, this year’s lineup will feature Boston’s top jazz artists, musicians, and ensembles representing diverse cultures and genres worldwide. Concerts are free and open to the public.
The series, in partnership with the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy and the City of Boston, will present five fantastic musical acts performing a range of musical stylings.
Mercedes Escobar is a Boston-based Guatemalan singer-songwriter performing Latin Americana. From playing bars in Guatemala since her early teens, until a chance encounter changed everything - when a fan in the audience encouraged her to apply to Berklee, leading to a scholarship opportunity. After graduating with honors in 2024, she quickly earned a nomination for Latin Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards. Her upcoming album (fall 2025) features collaborations with multiple Grammy-winner Gaby Moreno, blues icon Joe Bonamassa, Fabiola Mendez and Luis Conte. Mercedes has been featured in acclaimed Guatemalan film soundtracks including Tremors (2019) and Cadejo Blanco (2022). Her performance at DC's The Hamilton Live and sold-out show at legendary Club Passim have drawn enthusiastic audiences.
The 2025 Jazz in the Park Summer Concert Series is sponsored in part by The Lupoli Family Foundation, Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown, Rose Town Kitche & Bar, MeetBoston, Munroe Morrow Wealth Management, North Street Grille, and Boston Public Market.
WHEN: Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:00 PM, July 10th to August 7th
WHERE: Concerts are held outdoors on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, directly adjacent to the Canopy Hotel in Boston. The rain or heat location is the Canopy Hotel by Hilton.
