The forecast for Saturday night looks clear – and cooler! – and the sunsets have been spectacular. The outdoor stage has been enlarged yet again to provide safe distancing for musicians and dancers. Cars will be parked in the field with empty spaces on both sides, and in front and back. Please remain near your car throughout the hour-long, amplified concert. Lawn chairs will be available, but please feel free to bring your own.
TICKETS:
Tickets will be available at the gate – there will be no advance sales. When you arrive, you will be directed to your socially distanced parking space in the large field below the barn. A masked attendant will come to your car to collect your suggested donation of $20 per car, payable by cash or check to "Triphammer Arts". If you'd prefer to donate electronically, you can donate through PayPal or on Facebook at any time.
The gate opens at 6:00 pm.
