Make Your Evening More Enjoyable
Attendees of Picnic in the Park’s 15 Year Anniversary concerts should bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, and can pack their dinner or buy food at the park or nearby. Alcohol is not allowed in the Park, but non-alcoholic beverages are fine. It can get chilly later in the evening so bring a sweater, jacket or blanket to stay warm. Most nights are very mild and enjoyable. We hope you can join us on Wednesday nights. The lineup for 2019 is as follows:
