Concerts on the Lawn, Athens

How would you like to walk into a gorgeous park or garden with flowers and fountains, on a beautiful starry summer night with a statuesque old southern Victorian home, illuminated for the evening by candle light, in the background?

Throw in a picnic with some of your closet friends and family and you have an intimate gathering. Toss in music, live of course, and now you have a party! At Ashford Manor, during their Concerts on the Lawn, they put all this together and more! For food, bring your own or dine with one of their restaurant partners. From Mirko Pasta where their motto is "Fresh pasta made daily, many days hourly. Real Italian food. Fast, Affordable, Delicious," to Le Maison Bleu where sandwiches and salads are prepared with a continental flare! Barbaritos for southwestern grille items or Girasole's for fine Mexican and Italian dishes. Annual Music favorites range from "Mama's Love" to "Greg Hester's Van Morrison Tribute Band" and finally "Sons of Sailors" where they have been playing Jimmy Buffet for decades! These are just a few of the bands highlighting the summer schedule! For more information on 2009 Concert Schedule.

Don't come however unless you are ready to have a fun experience framed around one of the most beautiful garden settings in the Athens area. As they say on their website, the Concerts on the Lawn are close to home and a reasonable price. The possible biggest draw to attending a Concert at Ashford Manor something I found on their website, that I agree with wholeheartedly, that stated, "Folks tell us that this is often the only chance to really see and enjoy their neighbors and friends, without having to entertain at their own homes."

The only requirement that they insist upon at Ashford Manor is that you relax and have fun - "no stress vibes, no bad office karma here!"
