Description
Beyond symphonies and rock, performance lineups stretch across jazz, folk, and opera. Attendees settle onto the lawn with full setups—bringing chairs, tables, and decor alongside packed meals, or picking up onsite options like tacos and elote. The mature canopy creates a peaceful setting with good sound quality, though the dense timber means sightlines to video screens are somewhat limited across parts of the general admission lawn.
