Are you excited about Picnic in the Park? We are!

Pleased to announce musical guests, Music with Eli and The Upbeats Jazz Ensemble!

Music with Eli’s Groovy music invites movement, singing, and celebration. Original songs that teach about the natural world, body positivity and our shared humanity. Music With Eli creates a safe space for playful self-expression.

Local LFP favorites The UpBeats (Greg Schroeder, Ken Kassover, Dan Benson, Eric Stevens, and Ernesto Padiangco) serve up a lively, community-focused blend of jazz, pop, and Latin music. For LFP’s Picnic in the Park 2026, they welcome two premier regional jazz stars as special guests: multi-instrumentalists Jay Thomas and Alex Dugdale, performing on both saxophone and trumpet!
