No tickets or reservations required, so be sure to arrive early to claim your socially-distanced patch of grass as space is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please bring a blanket or chairs; a limited number of folding chairs will be available for those who need special assistance. Events will take place outdoors on the grass and patio area directly in front of the entrance to BPA at 200 Madison Ave N.
Grab a bite to-go from one of Winslow’s fantastic restaurants or pack a picnic for a little outdoor dinner theatre - sorry, no alcohol permitted on site.
