Summer Season
“It’s where we all gather: it’s the center of town life
With picnic basket, folding chairs, blanket, and our two kids in tow, we find ‘our spot’ on the lawn and settle in for what we know will be a wonderful evening of music, fine dining, and chatting with friends old and new. As the glorious music wafts over us and the mountains start to change color in the background, we enjoy a wonderful family night out. And it’s free!"
Pre-Concert Chats (on hiatus, will return in 2021)
Located on the lawn next to the Paver Bar, these 30-minute chats offer insightful, entertaining introductions to the concerts 45 minutes before every performance at the Pavilion, except the Gala. Join in person or stream on your phone from the Festival website.

Kids’ Music Tent (on hiatus, will return in 2021)
Held in the canopy at the back of the Pavilion lawn during summer performances, children ages 4-8 can explore music with local music educator Lisa Pettit through hands-on projects and activities for FREE while you attend the concerts. It’s free—of course—but reservations are required.

Festival Store (open in 2020, with health precautions)
The Festival Store is open every concert day during the Summer Concert Series from 1:00 PM through 1/2 hour after the performance. It is closed during the concert. The Store is your source for information, Festival swag and CDs, picnic supplies, and lost and found.

“Everything comes together here to create truly moving musical experiences—whether you're a devoted classical music fan, or just out for a great evening.
The elevation, mountains, trees, endless sky—combined with the most welcoming of communities—inspires me and all our musicians to bring the ideas and passions of composers from across the centuries to life."
