2026 City Lights & Stars: Calypso Vision- August 28th
Burritt on the Mountain brings back its beloved City Lights & Stars Concert Series for the 33rd season with Calypso Vision, a band that channels the laid-back spirit of Jimmy Buffett and classic rock beach vibes. This outdoor concert transforms the mountaintop into an island escape for the evening, with the band delivering what they call a "Gumbo Mix" of tropical rock that gets families swaying under the stars. It's the kind of show where parents can unwind while kids enjoy the open-air atmosphere and live music energy. Gates open at 6:00 pm with the concert starting at 7:00 pm. Tickets range from $25 to $60 and are sold online until 4:00 pm the day of the show (or until they sell out). Members of Burritt get early access to tickets starting March 15th, with general public sales beginning April 1st. Bring your own chairs and blankets for a classic picnic-style concert experience, and grab dinner from one of the food trucks on site. Beer and wine will be available for purchase, but outside alcohol isn't permitted. For families wanting a fuller evening, there's an optional pre-concert dinner at 6:00 pm for $30 per person featuring a BBQ buffet with all the fixings. The concert location shifts based on weather—if rain threatens, the show moves to the covered Bendickson Family Pavilion. Tickets are non-refundable and count as tax-deductible donations, supporting Burritt's mission as a living history museum and nature preserve.
