Meet Me In the Courtyard

Every Friday for the month of August (weather permitting), Bennington Museum invites you to join us in the courtyard for a bite to eat and some informal entertainment by local creatives.

FOOD
From 5pm to 8pm the Avocado Pit will set up shop in front of the Museum’s gates, serving delicious tacos, beer and wine. Food may be eaten anywhere on the grounds, and alcohol may be consumed within the gates and other designated areas. 

Any visitor who purchases food from the Avocado Pit or who presents a receipt from any other Bennington restaurant may enter the Museum for 50% off the price of admission.  The Museum is open until 8pm on Fridays.

EVENTS
From approximately 5:30pm to 7pm Bennington Museum will host performers in the courtyard, free of charge. The public is encouraged to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs and to arrive early as the courtyard capacity will be limited to 25 total.

The line-up:

August 21: Big Stone Gap
Big Stone Gap specializes in old-time Appalachian music featuring seasoned local performers on strings, bass, guitar and mandolin.
