What to Know

Feel free to bring a picnic basket with food from home to enjoy during a concert—anything from cheese and crackers to local takeout is allowed. NOTE: Glass containers and packaging are strictly prohibited inside the Amphitheater. Picnic baskets, coolers, bags and purses are subject to security searches.

We have a variety of affordable and delicious food options at the Eileen DeVries Concessions Center, located inside the gates. There’s something to satisfy most any appetite during the show!

Guests may bring beverages in factory-sealed, non-glasscontainers such as soda cans, plastic water bottles, juice boxes and other unopened beverage packaging.

Empty reusable water bottles may be filled at the inside water fountain. Beer, wine, specialty drinks and nonalcoholic beverages are available at the Eileen DeVries Concessions Center. All guests planning to consume alcohol will have their ID checked at entry and will be required to wear a wristband for service.

Alcohol may not be brought onto the premises. Our liquor license permits the sale of beer, wine and specialty drinks at concerts; it does not allow outside alcohol to be brought onto the property. All outside alcoholic beverages found on site will be confiscated.

Chairs of all heights are welcome at Ayers Basement Systems Tuesday Evening Music Club concerts. The permanent seats at the rear of the amphitheater are available on a first-come, first-served basis for these shows.
