Blossom Music Center
Cuyahoga Falls, OH · Amphitheater
Blossom Music Center runs a clear bag policy, so a clear tote inside the size limit or a small clutch is the easy way in. It is the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra and a major Live Nation amphitheater, set in a natural grass bowl surrounded by woods. You can bring food in a clear gallon bag, which is perfect for a lawn picnic. Pack a clear bag and you move right through. Here is exactly what gets in at Blossom and what stays in the car.
