Pack a picnic and get ready for a twilight concert experience: Summerfest 2026 starts in May.
Hosted at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre, this 10-part summer concert series gives friends and families the chance to unwind on the lawn (or covered tables) while enjoying timeless musical magic from the North Carolina Symphony.
A few evenings we can’t wait for:
- Opening Night: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 | May 23 (Memorial Day Weekend)
- Under the Sea | June 13
- Mozart by Moonlight | June 20
Bonus: Each evening, the on-site judges will award one group “Picnic of the Week,” which includes tasty prizes from Wegmans.
And did we mention kids 12 and under get onto the lawn for free?
