Pre-Show Experience
The picnic area opens at 5:00pm, and you’ll find local food vendors, wine tastings, and live music. Lots of folks bring blankets and picnic baskets, but you can also grab prepared food there.
It’s a great time to explore the park before you settle in for the main show. Honestly, wandering around with a glass of local wine is half the fun.

Planning Your Visit
