🚨 Arrive Early! This Event Fills Fast
This concert is extremely popular, and the lawn fills quickly. We are meeting earlier so we can find a great spot, get settled, and enjoy our picnic before the show begins.

🌟 Meetup Picnic Details
🧺 It’s still a potluck! Bring something to share:
🍓 Cheese & crackers
🍇 Fruit trays
🍪 Cookies or desserts
🥨 Snacks
🍷 Wine or beverages
🍽️ Plates, napkins, cups, and utensils are always appreciated!

📍 Our Meetup Location
We will be in the front section of the Great Lawn closest to the Pavilion seating area, near the front sidewalk — NOT our usual back lawn location.

Because we are sitting closer to the stage area:
✅ Bring a blanket for lawn seating
✅ Low-profile lawn chairs are welcome
✅ Small folding tables/low picnic tables are great for sharing food and drinks
✅ Please be considerate of space — we are in a busier area of the lawn
Look for the Meetup sign on a stick (if permitted)!
📸 Check the event photo for our approximate location.
⚠️ We cannot reserve a huge area, so arriving early is important if you want to sit with the group.
