Picnic at the Symphony - This weekend Strings

This is a weekly event through the end of the schedule.

Where to find our group - If you are coming from the top of the stairs facing downtown, we are on the right about 1/3 of the way back. If you are coming from Riverside facing the Long center, look left on the grass. You should find some red tables set up and extreme picnic gear. I will try to have a red balloon weekly - but if not, trust me, we are easy to spot ;).

Here is a link to a map. See where it says Yelp Folks - that is where to find us. http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/2864508/location-of-group-pdf-june-11-2011-8-32-am-129k?dn=y

This is a great Summer sunset symphony tradition. Enjoy the beautiful Hartman Foundation Park just off the terrace of the Long Center, which serves as a stage, at sunset.

Pack a picnic, some wine, bring a blanket and your chill self for a fun Summer Sunday evening Austin tradition. Even though summer tends to be hot, the hour and the location are generally temperate with a light breeze. Not much of a picnic maker, bring takeout from one of your favorite haunts and compliment it with your own beverages.

Dog and Kid Friendly.
