SCHOOL'S OUT

The Hedge House Lawn features acoustic, coffeehouse-style concerts in an intimate setting. There’s no stage – all the performers play right on the grass – and it’s a great place to take your whole family, spread out a blanket, and enjoy food or ice cream while taking in some great music. The location is beautiful sprawling lawn right on Water St., in front of the Hedge House Museum. Use of the lawn was generously donated by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society. Located right in the heart of the Plymouth Waterfront. Parking: adjacent Visitor Info Center/Ming Dynasty parking lot, $.50/hr, free after 7pm; public restrooms at the Visitor Information Center (130 Water St.) until 8pm. Dining: Located right near many fine restaurants, including Wood’s Seafood, Al’s Pizza, Mamma Mia’s Italian Restaurant, and the Ming Dynasty.
