Music in the Meadow

Summer Outdoor Concerts and Shows

Music in the Meadow is one of Stowe’s signature summer event series, hosted by Spruce Peak Arts. Running continuously since 1976, the concerts found their permanent home in the early 1980s on the grounds of the von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort.

Set in a picturesque, natural lawn amphitheater, the venue offers incredible sound and panoramic views of the Nebraska Valley.

What to know before you go:

• Seating: Open, picnic-style seating on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Arrival: The meadow gates open two hours before performance time.

• Seating Zones: Designated sections are clearly marked for blankets, low-back chairs, and high-back chairs so every guest has a great line of sight. On-site ushers are available to help guide you.

Past productions have included Oklahoma! and The Sound of Music in Concert.

Explore upcoming events in collaboration with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and Spruce Peak Arts.
