2020 deprived us of concerts and festivals, so get that summer vibe on
2021 will be the year of the outdoor concert. With masking and social distancing still in place at time of writing many people may still not feel safe to attend indoor venues. But whether your tastes extend to the classics, jazz, pop, or folk there will definitely be an outdoor event to suit your family this summer. Most outdoor concerts tend to take place in large fields so there’s plenty of room for running around and even outdoor games such as frisbees and football, providing they’re played well away from the main crowd. These are mostly family affairs and providing children are versed in general good manners, and they’re not throwing food or punches, even young children can enjoy them. Evening concerts are even more special as the day fades and people light candles and lanterns. It can be magical…and we need a bit of magic this year. If you have young children consider sitting further back to allow more room to stretch out and wander around. Take small amounts of lots of different foods. Everyone loves nibbles. Take folding chairs, sunscreen, hats, insect repellent or those citronella candles and lots of rugs. Comfort is important, especially as the sun disappears. A flask of hot chocolate will keep everyone happy as the evening air takes on a chill. Some glowsticks or lanterns will make the event extra special. Enjoy.
