While the show starts at 2 pm, you need to be early, as when the concert meadow is filled you will be  sent to the West Meadow which is nearby but with visibility of the stage.

There is a bike valet for those who ride to the Grove.

There’s also some wonderful picnic benches, which you can reserve 6 seats at through a lottery system. They are close to the stage and a real treat to experience.

Need more information? There’s a handy guide to the Grove experience! Just remember both your sunscreen and your layers, as the weather can be highly changeable at the Grove!
