Hawken House Concert Series 2020

IN IT TOGETHER … ON THE FRONT LAWN OF THE HAWKEN HOUSE

The fan favorite year, planned for this summer, has been moved to 2021. In its place, we hope to bring you three shows on the second Mondays of July, August and September. Look for signs on the day of each show and check the WGHS Facebook page to see if the bands will be playing that night or not.

We ask that you sit in groups no greater than that allowed by the St. Louis County COVID-19 orders and follow all social distancing guidelines that are in effect at the time of the concert. All guests must wear protective face masks. Please do not attend if you or any family members are feverish or show symptoms of any illness.

Free acoustic shows on the front lawn of the Hawken House!

The Fan Favorite Series has been rescheduled to 2021!
