Lakewood Amphitheatre
Atlanta, GA · Amphitheater
Lakewood Amphitheatre, the wooded shed on Atlanta's south side also known as Cellairis Amphitheatre, runs a clear bag policy. Your main bag has to be a clear plastic or vinyl tote no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and you can add a small clutch up to 6 by 9 inches that does not have to be clear. One factory-sealed water bottle up to a liter is fine.
Non-clear backpacks, coolers, grocery bags, and umbrellas all stay home. There is no bag check, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car. With up to 12,000 on the lawn, the place fills up, so pack clear and arrive early for the better lawn spots.
