"Our staff members are just as excited as the fans who have been calling and emailing us." Manfre noted that a few modifications have been implemented this year out of an abundance of caution, such as the addition of hand sanitizing stations, an increase in the frequency of cleaning, and the elimination of concession stands. As before, the audience should bring blankets and chairs for seating and may bring their own picnic provisions. Alcohol and smoking are prohibited. Leashed dogs are allowed in the outer viewing areas on the hilltops and must remain outside of "the bowl." Concerts are weather permitting; there are no rain dates. Admission and parking are free.
