The Pavilion at Star Lake
Burgettstown, PA · Amphitheater
The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, west of Pittsburgh, runs a clear bag policy. You can bring a clear plastic bag no bigger than 12 by 12 by 6 inches, or a small clutch, wristlet, or fanny pack up to 6 by 9 inches that does not have to be clear. You can also bring food in a clear one-gallon Ziploc bag, one per person.
Backpacks, coolers, and tall lawn chairs all stay home, though low-profile beach-style chairs are often allowed on the lawn. There is no bag check, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car. The shed sits in the hills west of the city, so plan for traffic in and out.
