The Sunday Garden Concerts
Blues, Bluegrass, Folk & Americana!  This series has become a popular tradition among music lovers to end the weekend on a Sunday afternoon in an idyllic garden setting. The impressive lineup of regional touring bands brings talent recognized nationally who have performed at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, National Public Radio’s "Mountain Stage," the famed Philadelphia Folk Festival and other widely acclaimed venues across the country. Typically drawing large crowds, these concerts are family affairs in an idyllic garden setting where people can choose to sit in the enclosed 'beer garden' with tables, or bring their own lawn blankets or chairs and enjoy the concert up close.
