Since I live so close to this venue, I get to go quite a bit in the summer. The best part is that most performers offer lawn seats. These are great, affordable general admission tickets. The stage is at the bottom of a 'bowl' carved out of the earth. You can bring a blanket and a couple of bottles of... More

I'm fortunate to have this close to home! I buy a season pass, chill out on the beautiful lawn and listen to the music. If you haven't been yet be sure to find a show you want to see, buy a ticket and check it out. The museum is a must see as well so be sure to come a... More

I have been to multiple concerts at Bethel Woods because I live very close to Bethel. I have not been dissapointed. I saw Pat Benatar, REO Speedwagon, OAR, Elton John, but my absolute favorite was Marc Cohen. I purchased tickets for my Husbands birthday and the concert was held in a round, beautiful room in the main building. It was... More

I was told what a wonderful festival this was by a neighbor near my vacation home in Sullivan County. The fee to enter wasn't so terrible @ $15 per person and you get to keep the souvenir wine glass.We were to enjoy a sampling of wine from the vine, as well as specialty foods, cheeses and craft vendors. The afternoon... More

This is the most gorgeous concert venue I have ever been to, right on the site of the original Woodstock festival. It's worth the trip & check out the museum, too!

It's a three-hour drive from our home in Upstate New York but the trip has always been well worth it. The setting is gorgeous and the acoustics are top notch, a great place to relax and enjoy some of the best touring bands or orchestras. And then there's the history (Woodstock) and the site's fascinating museum (separate admission) tribute to... More
