Let your imagination run wild when Tivoli Village kicks off this years series of Imagination Celebration Jazz For Peace starting this May. The series is slated for a 2 month run with a total of 4 shows featuring some of Vegas best internationally and nationally acclaimed Jazz musicians. The groups have come together for a cause to foster the message of local and global peace. The series is also a part of a prelude that will lead up to NYA's Imagination Celebration in Town Square Park on Saturday October 13, 2012 which celebrates diversity through the arts.
