TONY ENGELHART: COME TOGETHER IN OLD TOWN >>>

Jazz and wine go together like peanut butter and jelly on Wonder Bread â€" so it only makes sense to have a festival featuring this dynamic duo. Now in its sixth year, Old Town Jazz & Wine Festival has featured some of the finest regional musicians and wineries, all in an effort to support the Tacoma Old Town Park Performance Stage Project â€" which aims to build a permanent outdoor stage in Old Town Park. This year the festival presents two popular jazz ensembles: Pearl Django and Malibu Manouche. The wineries are nothing to sneeze at as favorites such as Walter Dacon, Stinas Cellars and Marchetti Wines will all be offering up some of boldest Cabernet Sauvignons and some of the sweetest White Rieslings in the state.

[Slavonian Hall, 5 p.m., $30 tickets available at Ted Brown Music, The Spar, Metropolitan Market, 2306 N. 30th St., Tacoma, oldtownbusinessdistrict. com]
