Dazzle will host a special fundraiser brunch on May 24, 2026, helping raise money for one of Denver’s true community gems: City Park Jazz.
After the devastating loss of the City Park Bandstand by fire, Dazzle is stepping up to support this summer’s City Park Jazz Concert Series. City Park Jazz needs to raise an additional $30,000 to $40,000 in unexpected costs for mobile setups, audio production, and power needs for the 2026 season.
“We’re humbled and deeply grateful for the support of Dazzle,” says Andy Bercaw, president of the City Park Jazz Board of Directors. “Dazzle is an incredible venue and has been a lynchpin in the Colorado jazz scene for decades. Most of the performers who play our stage have performed at Dazzle; the overlap is huge. It’s not a competitive relationship, it’s a supportive one, and Dazzle has the gratitude of the Board.”
Now celebrating its 40th anniversary season, City Park Jazz continues to bring live jazz to Denver on Sunday evenings throughout the summer, drawing anywhere from 8,000 to 12,000 neighbors each week—free of charge.
This year’s lineup includes Denver favorites Hazel Miller, Conjunto Colores, The Spicy Pickles, The Delta Sonics, Shane Endsley & The Denver Municipal Band, and many more artists who regularly perform at Dazzle.
Dazzle owner Chad Schneider says, “City Park Jazz is a good time and it brings friends together to hear energizing jazz. Dazzle is happy to help in any way that we can.”
The City Park Jazz Brunch Fundraiser features pianist, vocalist, guitarist, arranger, and composer Camilla Vaitaitis, with two seatings available:
10:30 AM
12:45 PM
Guests can gather with fellow music lovers to enjoy a chef-curated buffet, made-to-order specialties, non-alcoholic beverages, tax, and tip with all-inclusive pricing designed to provide a complete experience.
A donation to City Park Jazz is automatically included with every brunch ticket purchase. Additional direct donations may also be made separately.
