The air wasn't the only thing that steamed Friday night at the opening of the WIZ Coors Light Jazz Festival at Cinergy Field.

        The pedestrian walkway across Fort Washington Way was cooking with style as concert-goers strutted their stuff. Colors sizzled — lime green was the color of the night — and patterns went wild. Heels soared, and couples partnered up in coordinating outfits. Hair was moussed, braided and gelled into works of art.

        Event organizers say the three-day concert and party that included the Ujima Cinci-Bration downtown attracted 150,000. Here's a glimpse of the only show in town where the audience is the opening act.

Tonja Jefferson, 39, and James Humphrey, 49, both of Cleveland, were one of the many couples in lime green — down to the shoes. | ZOOM | Tarhona Tolbert of Mt. Healthy walks outside Cinergy Field. | ZOOM |

Lawanda Jayla, 35, of Winton Place was layered in tie-dye-patterned pink. Her daughter, Sabriah, 3, was in an orange and purple Elmo outfit for the show. | ZOOM | Annette Irvin of Akron poses outside Cinergy Field. | ZOOM |
