4 PLACES EVERY VISITOR SHOULD KNOW
Big Top Food Tent
Two bars, plenty of seating, and great people-watching all blend perfectly with the regional favorites and sweet treats on which everyone in the family can agree.
The Lilac Loop
Follow the path towards Highland Avenue, and you’ll discover a wide variety of flavors—from grilled favorites to international cuisine.
Top of the Hill
Near the South Avenue entrance, you’ll have the best view of Center Stage. Grab a bite, spread your blanket and enjoy the show. This is also the closest spot to the Hilltop Bar – the only place to get a Sangria Slushie, the festival’s homemade specialty.
Overlook
Weekends 10:30am to 8:30pm during Art in the Park. Approach this scenic viewpoint at the highest point of Reservoir Road by walking from South Avenue or Goodman Street. Or take the path that runs through the gardens on Highland Avenue.

Hot dogs, hamburgers, rib-eye steak sandwiches, Italian sausage and Polish sausage can be found throughout the festival and at Nick Tahou’s, Sonny’s Landing and Fun Foods.
