(May-September) A wild variety of performers come out every year to play at Wolf Trap, located on the woodsy rolling terrain of a national park. Wolf Trap devotees brave the muggy Virginia weather and risk the chance of getting wet (concerts go on rain or shine) to see artists like Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Elvis Costello, Jewel, Rufus Wainwright, Morrissey, the Beach Boys, and even the National Symphony Orchestra, while picnicking out on the expansive lawn of the Filene Center.

Tuesday through Saturday mornings, all summer, Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods has something for the whole family (kids under 3 get in for free). During the rest of the year there are indoor concerts at Wolf Trap’s 400-seat the Barns venue.
