By the end of October, the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will wrap up its 2024 “Ride With The Music” concert series in partnership with JazzArts. These free, pop-up concerts feature performances by local jazz artists at Blue Line stations across the city.

Rail commuters can enjoy a special performance by the JazzArts All-Star Youth Ensemble at 7th Street Station for the final concert in this year’s series. Be sure to take a photo/video if you stop by and share it on social media with #CATSRideWithTheMusic!
