Jazz in the garden, a free summer concert series in D.C., is stepping up its enforcement of outside booze being brought in the park.
The jazz event has always banned concert-goers from bringing in outside liquor but this year, guards are taking more aggressive precautions to prevent the smuggling of alcohol, the DCist is reporting.
Several of the garden’s entrances are now closed and guards are in place to check attendees’ bags upon entry.
Alcohol will still be sold at the event.
The National Gallery of Art hosts the weekly event every Friday night from 5 to 8:30 p.m. This year marks the 11th season for the community jazz series.
