The Art of Dining at the Festival

Enjoy a picnic before the show!  Bring your own basket or choose from a selection of food, drinks and treats available in the park.  Food and drink sales help keep the Festival FREE.

Dine in style at the Festival at The Bard’s VIP Buffet by Brio Tuscan Grille now offering a multi-course buffet dinner in a special VIP tent prior to performances. The Bard’s VIP Buffet is a perfect way to treat employees, clients or special friends to an evening of great food and great theater in a relaxed and unique outdoor setting.
