Strathmore to Host Free Outdoor Concerts Throughout Summer

Strathmore at 5301 Tuckerman Lane in Bethesda is hosting free outdoor concerts on Wednesday and Thursday nights through August. Full details below courtesy Montgomery County:

“Free outdoor music at Montgomery County’s finest performing arts venue will be available on Wednesday and Thursday nights through August on the grounds of Strathmore in North Bethesda. Wednesday night events are family friendly and Thursday events feature “Cool Concerts for Kids.”

Strathmore is located at 5301 Tuckerman Lane in Bethesda. Although the concerts are free, attendees are asked to RSVP in advance at Summer at Strathmore. By sending in an RSVP, audiences will be able to receive weather or performance updates.

The Live from the Lawn concerts will continue through Aug. 21.

Upcoming concerts will feature The Soul Crackers and their timeless nine-piece soul band at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 17, and the New Orleans jazz band for kids, Jazzy Ash, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 18.

All Live from the Lawn shows are family friendly. Cool Concerts for Kids offer upbeat tunes for people of all ages while creating fun ways for younger audiences to interact with the music.

Attendees can bring low-rise chairs or blankets for their lawn experiences. The use of higher chairs is discouraged, but concert goers with those types of chairs are asked to sit toward the back of the lawn. The Strathmore team will ask those in higher chairs to move back if seated in a location that will block others’ view of the stage. Pets and comfort/emotional support animals are not permitted at Live from the Lawn events. Trained service animals are permitted.

Strathmore Culinary Arts will be serving a variety of barbeque-style food and drinks for purchase on site. View the menu here. Ben & Jerry’s will have ice cream options available for purchase.
