New this season, the concert series is promoting sustainability through composting and recycling as much as they're able.
A compost bin from Organicycle will be at the series for any food scraps or paper products. There will also be a free water bottle-filling site.
“Concertgoers can help support our efforts by bringing their food in recyclable or compostable packaging and using our new bottle-filling station to stay hydrated at no cost and without adding to a landfill,” said Elizabeth McEwen, executive director of The Felt Estate.
The Felt Estate will have reusable water bottles, wine tumblers and other items for sale during the concerts.
The 1917 Carriage House and mansion will be open for tours during the shows.
If there's inclement weather, cancellations will be announced by 5 p.m. via email and online.
