Ed Fast & Conga Bop Heat Up the Green with Latin Jazz


Despite the sweltering heatwave hanging over Connecticut, faithful concert-goers still found the energy to pack up their chairs and picnics to head to the third installment of the Branford Jazz on the Green Series.

Fans were not disappointed as they were treated to Latin jazz courtesy of Ed Fast & Conga Bop. People sat in the shade of the trees and some, like us, treated themselves to ice cream for dinner!

The series, which is put on by the town, the Branford Festival and the Branford Recreation Department, is held on Thursdays throughout the summer from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
