Everyone is encouraged to bring a chair or blanket. These events are free but donations are encouraged. Dogs must be kept on a leash. No alcohol, smoking or coolers are allowed in the park.
Organizers will strongly suggest that everyone obeys safe Covid-19 practices, which include social distancing (staying at least 6 ft. apart), using hand sanitizer when possible, and wearing protective face coverings/masks.
These concerts are organized and produced by the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Sylva and the Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department.
