From date night to a night out with the family, we’ve got your recipe for a memorable time.

Date Night

Love is in the air! Create happy memories together with wine, beer, cheese and music under the stars. (Bonus points if you remember some beautiful flowers!)

Girls’ Night Out

Girls just want to have fun…and the lawn is the perfect place to party with your best girlfriends, some fabulous wine, and some yummy snacks!

Guys’ Night Out

Grab your cooler, order a pizza, and spread out with the guys. Don’t forget your sunglasses!

A Night with the Kids

Sunscreen, snacks, and some mini Wolfie stuffed animals will keep the kids happy while you introduce them to the magic of the performing arts with the whole family.

Rainy Day

Rain in the forecast? No problem! The show (and summer fun) must go on! Come prepared with a plastic tarp to sit on, a poncho, and an umbrella for a more comfortable experience.
