The Beer Garden Concert Series is a seasonal outdoor live music event hosted in the backyard space at The Glass Jug Beer Lab in Durham. This final show of the year brings local musicians to the stage for a casual, open-air performance. If you are heading out with kids, plan to arrive early to secure a picnic table in the beer garden. The event is free to attend, and you can purchase craft beer, soda, and local snacks on-site, or bring in your own takeout from surrounding Research Triangle Park restaurants. Parking is plentiful in the shared retail lot, and the outdoor area has plenty of space for strollers. This is a low-stress option for a Saturday night because of the relaxed, open-air setup. You can enjoy live music in a space where kids do not have to sit perfectly still in a seat.
