Why we do this

"Atlanta does not need another concert series. What we need is a place for different cultures, backgrounds, and ideologies to come together and find common ground. If the arts cannot do this, what can?"

Good to know

111 Elm Street, a few steps from Main Street in downtown Woodstock.

VIP tables are 60 inch rounds that seat a maximum of 8. Reserved and Premier tables are 48 inch rounds that seat a maximum of 6.

We encourage everyone to decorate tables, and prizes are sometimes given away for Best Decorations and Most Creative. Table decorating may begin no earlier than 6:30 PM, and decorations may not obstruct the view of anyone behind your table. If you are asked to move an object, the judges still count that piece toward your total.

You are more than welcome to bring food and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy before and during the concert.

Georgia law prohibits bringing your own alcoholic beverages. Wine and local craft beer are available for purchase at prices we keep away from event inflation, as part of our commitment to accessibility for the whole community.

Concerts are rain or shine, and we rarely cancel a performance before showtime. If guests leave of their own volition and the show is not cancelled, no rain checks are given. Tents are not allowed, since they obstruct the view for other guests.

Dogs are welcome in the general admission lawn section only, because of the intimate size of the Event Green and the safety of every patron. Dogs must follow Georgia leash laws and may not disturb other patrons or the concert.

Thank you
