Picnic Seating: What to Expect
We’re transforming CLARA’s outdoor space to bring a relaxed, lawn-style festival seating experience to Midtown! Picnic seating will be located on a large faux-grass area with comfortable commercial padding underneath, creating a cushioned place to settle in and enjoy the performance.
Please bring a blanket, picnic cushion, or low-profile lawn chair. Low-back chairs are welcome as long as the seat height is 9 inches or less, so everyone can enjoy a clear view. Picnic Seating guests are also welcome to bring food and non-alcoholic beverages. Outside alcohol is not permitted.
