Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts (Filene Center)

EXCELLENT venue to see live performances . Bring a picnic lunch/dinner, including adult bevs, spread out your blanket and just chill . Well worth the drive from DC and MD for the experience.

Half price discount for seniors and students half hour before show begins. If you opt for this, get something to eat beforehand, as you can't enter the concession area without a ticket!

If you have lawn seats , get there as the gates open! Otherwise you will be sitting all the way in the back on the hill and it's very slopey! Was a great show nonetheless :)

LOVE!!! Went to go see Back to the Future with lawn tickets. As I'd never been there before, I was afraid we wouldn't be able to see the screen, but they had one outside as well . Great atmosphere!

Get there early if you've got lawn seats-the grassy area fills up quickly. Bring your own drinks & a blanket. Great accoustics at this venue. REALLY enjoyed seeing Alison Krauss here!

Catch a show here on a summer day. They have a summer concert series where you can picnic .

My favorite venue in the DC area. BYOB and picnic to chill on the lawn, or buy food & drinks onsite.

I love this venue. The US Park Service is fortunate to manage such a lovely area. Definitely recommend seeing a concert here. And it’s BYOB ! ????

If you have lawn seats , get there early so you can claim a prime spot! It's a great area to picnic as well . Only issue is if it rains... then you're SOL.

This awesome location and place are very popular during the summer months

A fantastic picturesque venue in Vienna, Va housing performances from pop artists to ballet to the National Symphony. Pack a blanket to stake out your own seat on the lawn, have a picnic !

Parking is free but limited. If you have a long walk to the venue, just catch the jitney. It’s free, too.

Beautiful stage and park they always have amazing shows there.

Bring your own food & beverage to enjoy while you sit on the lawn of the Filene Center and enjoy any number of the fantastic performances they line up each summer.

Lawn seats are a much better deal. You can't even take a drink to the seat in covered seating. Having done both, I'll choose lawn every time. With byo sushi and beer . :-)

This place is an awesome venue to see concerts ! This is a pic that I took of Adam Duritz of Counting Crows. Visit http://TheConcertMan.com for a show review.

The fact that it’s BYOB and you can bring food is awesome!

Wolf trap should provide a low-noise fan or cooling system for nights like tonight - when the heat index is 111. It's simply humane!

The best outside venue in the DMV!!! Always get the lawn seats , bring your own food and drinks and have a party on the lawn!!

Comte cheese , rosette de Lyon sausage , a baguette and a bottle of Herdade do Esporao Verdelho is all you need for a great evening at Wolf Trap with Chicago.

Pavilion seats are nice, but with lawn seats , feel free to bring in food & drink. The acoustics are amazing. Have a great time!

Love this place. We WILL be back. Great performamce, great atmosphere.

Post show they let those nearest the Filene Center exit. The lot across the road has to wait. Pack extra snacks and drinks.

Get there early for a good seat on the lawn and save money and bring a picnic lunch

Great venues, lots of different choices! Love #WolfTrap

Great show, but getting out of the parking lot was a nightmare! Over an hour to be able to move more than a couple feet!

Concerts , Lawn seats , BYOB

Packed an awesome picnic and blanket. What an incredible venue for a cool, summer night.

Acoustics are incredible, at least in the pavilion, even sitting right in front of the stage! The lawn could hear Idina Menzel projecting with out a mic and she said she could hear the orchestra bette

In 1632 wolves were a problem at Wolf Trap (the name gives it away), but now it’s an arts centre founded by Catherine Shouse who befriended every president from Wilson to Clinton.

Country , pop, folk, orchestra, dance , theatre , opera—you name it, and Wolf Trap’s got a show. - June issue 2012

Wonderful place for concerts and arts

See a show at the most spectacular venue in the DC Metro area: a former country barn. For more local tips, follow us on 4sq or check out www.renhotels.com.

If you sit on the lawn, don't expect to see much. They don't have any big screens like other amphitheaters so the musicians on stage look like ants .

Good outdoor venue . Get seats; you can always sit on the lawn if you like, and you have somewhere to go if it rains. Great place for a picnic while listening to music .

Don't forget to pack a picnic ! You can bring anything in but a keg .

Amazing sound!

Beware the regulars who go to Wolf Trap for pretty much everything, regardless of whether they know the band. Many of them talk loudly throughout the show. Bad concert manners...

Abba: The Concert at Sunday 8pm Tickets are $38 for in-house and $25 for the lawn. For more information and to purchase tickets online, visit wolftrap.org. Read more

U can bring your own food and wine !

Great audio, new jumbo screens for lawn

One of the Best outdoor Venue The DMV has.

The lawn is a perfect spot for any performance .

Lawn seating . Amazing performers . Philanthropic opportunities.

The pavillion is cavernous -- not a great place for a broadway-style show unless you've got great seats, especially not a matinee because you know, you can't turn down the house lights.

We had a great time last night!

The ushers are friendly and helpful, be kind to them.

Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys, Temptations, Four Tops, and Santana all played here.

Arrive early to reserve yourself a good lawn seat !! Don't forget your blanket, wine and food :)
