Before Arriving

Summer Serenades is a modified event with a significantly reduced audience size, mandatory masking, and social distancing protocols in effect. We strongly encourage eligible folks to receive their vaccine two weeks prior to the event, although proof of vaccination will not be required for admittance.

We ask all attendees to follow our COVID-19 protocols in order to maximize the safety of our patrons, artists, volunteers and staff. Please ensure that you and your party read our protocols thoroughly before arriving on the Island.

A recommended timed entry will be given to all ticket holders upon the purchase of a ticket bundle. If possible, we ask that all cohorts arrive at the grounds together to ensure smooth entry to the event.
