Gates open at 4:30 p.m. and the band Dashboard Blue will begin playing at 5 p.m. So, bring dancing shoes, friends, food and drinks (beer and wine are permitted) and a chair and join the fun. Watching the sun set over Mount Pisgah is an unforgettable experience. A shuttle service runs from the parking area to the park. Handicapped parking is available.
