Make Yourself Comfortable

Bring Your Own Seating or Use One of Ours!

Arts Festival events are accessible to ALL and we do not sell tickets. While we do ask for, and appreciate, a recommended donation at the gate, this is entirely optional and no one is ever turned away. Instead of giving at the gate, you may also make an online General Admission Donation prior to coming to the Park. Every dollar donated is put to use making Prescott Park Arts Festival the most accessible, outdoor performance venue it can be! To reiterate, while they are appreciated, neither a gate donation nor an online General Admission Donation is required to attend a Festival event.

Audience members are welcome to bring their own chairs or blankets to events.

No outside tables allowed.
Chairs are also available for rent on site

(1 for $6, 2 for $10, Adirondack Chairs for $8 each).

VIP tables or blankets are available in The Kane Company VIP Seating Area.

VIP Tables & Blankets

VIP tables are located in The Kane Company VIP Seating Area in the stage center area and have a direct view of the events. As our events have large crowds, VIP tables are ready and waiting for you and allow you to avoid searching for a good spot to watch our shows. Tables seat four people maximum per City of Portsmouth.

All table numbers are pre-assigned ahead of time by our staff.

Tables/Blankets are non-refundable, but if an event is cancelled due to weather or another reason, they may be transferred to another similar show, i.e. concert to concert, musical to musical, movie to movie.

Reserved blankets are located at the front of the blankets-only area in front of the stage. No chairs are allowed in this area. Patrons may also bring their own blankets. Patron with lawn chairs may set them up directly behind the blankets-only area. Please be mindful of the size of your chairs and blankets, as we want everyone to be able to enjoy Festival events!

No outside tables allowed.

Please note: The City of Portsmouth has mandated that unattended blankets and chairs may not be left unattended in Prescott Park before 3 pm, or 4 hours before the start of an event. Unattended blankets and chairs will be removed. No tarps are allowed on the lawn at any time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Additionally, if another performance is going on within this time period, we ask that you be respectful of those patrons and refrain from placing your blankets/chairs during the performance.
