The Next Gen Stage used to be near the Tech Museum, which, though still comparatively close, may have given off a second- or third-tier vibe to outsiders. “By spotlighting young people [and putting them in a prominent location], it shows that the organization is more than just this festival,” Rawson reasons. No matter where attendees go for their jazz fix, Summer Fest remains imminently walkable, as befits a downtown area with one of the highest national Walkscore rankings. From the Main Stage across from the Fairmont Hotel it’s an easy stroll to all of the other music venues, as well as restaurants, hotels and public transportation.

Full of corny humor, physical gags, silly songs and much more, “Nunset Boulevard” continues the charming legacy of Goggins’ nun-inspired musicals. And this one sounds even better, thanks to the newly installed sound system at the Willows main stage in Concord. New speakers, amps and microphones keep the singers and 3-piece band perfectly balanced, allowing the sisters to alternatively belt out toe-tapping tunes or croon a heartfelt ballad with the audience hearing every word. “Nunset Boulevard” continues through Jan 15.
