Gates open at 6:00pm – Concerts begin promptly at 8pm

“A” ticket seating is open seating with chairs provided — designated near the front of the stage and on the upper terrace areas at the Robinson Pavilion.
“B” ticket seating is lawn seating, “first come, first served” on the grass tiers of the amphitheater. Bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.

Anyela’s Vineyard offers their own wine and local craft beer for sale as well as a variety of snacks.  Otherwise, pick up a “take away” from a local “Friends of the Festival” restaurant or bring your own hamper and feast under the stars. 

Please Note: No alcohol or glass bottles are allowed to be brought into the concert.  All coolers and bags will be checked upon entry.

Many attendees like to make an evening of it with a picnic dinner, so if you want a seat close to the stage behind “A seating” you should arrive early. The pavilion lawn is terraced so even if you are not near the front, you will have a good view anywhere on the lawn. 

Please note that most pathways are gravel or 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 jacket.
If you have “B” seating tickets you’ll need to bring a folding lawn chair or blanket. 

Portable toilets are located on the vineyard path along 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 afterward.  

We are happy to accommodate any accessibility needs of patrons and handicap seating is available in all price levels. At Robinson Pavilion, the accessible section is located on the terrace nearest the handicapped parking lot. This section is also close to the accessible restrooms.

Note: if you purchase a “B” seating lawn ticket you will need to bring your own chair for the terrace, as it will not be provided.

Please call our office at 315-685-7418 so that we can ensure the best accommodations.

A variety of Skaneateles Festival merchandise will be available for purchase before each concert and during intermission. Guest artist CDs are often available on the nights they perform.  Credit cards and cash are both welcome.

We would love for you to take lots of photos before and after the concerts and tag us on social media! We ask that you be considerate during the concert by silencing your phones and being aware of how your photography may be affecting your neighbors’ experience; we want everyone to enjoy the music in the moment. Please do not use flash during the concert.

In the event of inclement weather, Saturday concerts will move to the 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!)
