Every spring I wait for the linkup to be announced, and then we plan out which shows we are going to. What we love so much about this concert series is the incredible lineup! Next to that, we LOVE the venue, the community there and the atmosphere. Sure, you can purchase pit or table tickets, but honestly Matt and I love the experience of sitting out on the lawn each time. You can bring your own chairs or blanket, drinks and food, and it’s just such an incredible time! All of the ticket options are great seats!
Parking opens at 5:00 pm. Gates open at 6 pm. And the concerts begins at 8:00 pm when it gets dark. The concerts on August 9 and September 20 start at 7:30 pm. We love to get there early at 5:00 and pack a wagon full of goodies for the show. Then we line up for the gates to open. the line will get long, and they will not open until 6:00, so bring your patience. But everyone is super nice, and it’s a great time to meet some other people going to the show too.
Once you get inside, you can pick out your spot on the lawn. There are tons of large trees out there, and a spot under the tree in the shade is always a great location. Live at the Garden is the perfect concert to go to with friends, couples, or even with your kids! Check out the remaining lineup this summer below!
