The John Anson Ford Theatres offer opportunities to celebrate, entertain and socialize year round. Dine, wine and unwind!
The Ford grounds open one-hour before [Inside] the Ford performances to give patrons a chance to relax, dine or mingle. Patrons are invited to bring items for pre-show picnicking; beverages and light concessions are available for purchase on-site before the show and during intermission. Please note that only bottled water is permitted inside the theatre.
The Ford grounds open one-hour before Saturday morning Big!World!Fun! family events as well as Monday evening J.A.M. Sessions. For all other events of the Ford Amphitheatre's Summer Season, the grounds open for pre-show picnicking two-hours prior to the performance. Concessions are available on-site by cash or credit card or you can bring your own food and beverage (wine/beer is permitted) for pre-show picnicking in the terraced entryway or snacking in your seat during the performance. Also available are prepared meals and catering options. Please note that that there are no tables in the amphitheatre and that all picnic coolers, baskets, etc. need to be small enough to fit under your seat so as not to block any walkways.
