Otherwise\, pick up a “take away” from a local “Friends of the Festival” restaurant or bring your own hamper and feast under the stars. No alcohol or glass bottles are allowed to be brought into the concert.\n \n \n \n \n \n preparing\n Many attendees like to make an evening of it with a picnic dinner\, so if you want a seat close to the stage beyond the A seating\, you should arrive early. There is usually a line to enter as bags are checked and tickets processed. This can take some time… The pavilion lawn is terraced so even if you are not near the A seating up front\, you will have a good view anywhere on the lawn. However\, it is a gravel path and lawn\, so “sensible” shoes are suggested to get to your seat. See below if you need assistance with handicap access. The temps may be warm when you arrive\, but it can cool off considerably as the sun sets\, so think about bringing a few layers of clothing to add throughout the night. Also bring something to sit on — a folding lawn or beach chair or at least a blanket/tarp as the dew will fall with the sun. Portable toilets are located for your convenience along the vineyard path at the north side of the lawn. It will be dark by the end of the concert\, so bring a flashlight or use your phone to help you find your car afterwards. \n \n \n \n \n \n handicap accessibility \n We are happy to accommodate any accessibility needs of patrons and handicap seating is available in all price levels. At Robinson Pavilion\, our accessible section is located on the terrace nearest the parking lot. This section is also close to the accessible restrooms. If you purchase a lawn ticket you will need to bring your own chair to the terrace as it will not be provided. Please call our office at 315-685-7418 so that we can ensure the best accommodations.\n \n \n \n \n \n Skaneateles Festival Merchandise\n We sell a variety of Skaneateles Festival merchandise and CD’s for purchase before each concert and during intermission. Guest artist CD’s are also available on the nights they perform.  Credit cards and cash are both welcome.\n \n \n \n \n \n inclement weather notification for saturday evening concerts\n In the event of inclement weather\, Friday and Saturday concerts will move to their respective rain location. That decision will be announced by 3pm the day of the concert via our website\, Facebook\, Instagram\, voicemail and email (If you aren’t on our email list\, it’s super easy to sign up here\, we send great updates and Festival news!)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n There are a variety of ways to get tickets!\n \n \n \n \n \n Presale tickets refer to all tickets that are sold before the day of the concert.
