Tickets are $10, with an additional $30 food-and-beverage minimum per guest. After guests purchase their tickets via Metrotix, they will be sent an online order form to pre-order food and drinks of their choice. Additional beverages will be available for purchase on the day of each event.

“Open Air” will take place in a spacious, covered, outdoor area next to The Grandel. To ensure guest and staff safety, limited, physically distant seating is available by reservation only for 5:30 or 8 p.m. seatings, with a limit of six guests per table. All guests are required to wear face masks at all times, except when seated at their reserved tables.
