Notes

Sunset Variations is an all-ages live music event.

With limited capacity and seating available, guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and enjoy the music in a relaxed outdoor setting. While seating is available, there may be times when guests are invited to enjoy the tunes from outside the venue. As this is an outdoor event, we recommend sun protection and weather-appropriate clothing for your comfort.

Please note that no BYO alcohol or glass is permitted, but a full bar and refreshments will be available for purchase.

The performance is a 3-hour set, starting at 5pm and concluding at 8pm.
