A bit of a throwback, Merriweather is a treat, especially when the weather is ideal. Under the roof is best. Plenty of food and drink vendors. It feels like a park turned into concert venue.
Ticket booth on the South entrance opens at 5p, so don't feel like you have to trek on the side of the (dangerous) gravel road to get to the North box office. Also, pregaming while in line is a MUST!
Catia DaSilvaMay 30, 2015Great for graduation, but my tip goes to the girls! Don't wear heels. It's a long walk and hills and downhills! :(
Morgan ChaseSeptember 6, 2011Without a doubt, "The Pit" is the best place to enjoy a show here. It's never too crowded and the acoustics are EPIC. Ticket price is fairly comparable as well.
Kendy ChibiJuly 14, 2014Best opened live concert in MD. Make sure you eat or plan in advance before because food can be expensive. Allowed water, one bottle.
Danielle🌟 AnnOctober 16, 2011Bring in 5$ footling subs to avoid the $15 chicken tenders. You can bring water too of any size, so I suggest bringing a gallon. Especially in 85 degree weather in October! It's great !
Adam WMay 19, 2012Best outdoor venue I've been to...absolutely love this place. The atmosphere here can't be beat
Be sure to sign up for the 9:30 Club Friends with Benefits program! And eat at Cody’s BBQ if it’s open.
Dion BarelaJune 15, 2015Yay for Florence and the Machine! Such a beautiful venue with great ambiance. I'm coming back! #promise
Lawn seating sucks, pay the extra $ for actual seats, unless u prefer ppl trampling all over ur shit & ass cracks in ur face while sitting down by the late comers. Move your MF'n ass out of my way!
Robert DurhamApril 29, 2017I haven't been here in two years but the forest stage is awesome....shaded viewing area...bonus!
Fordcast TourAugust 22, 2011This is the best outdoor concert space in Maryland! Make sure you arrive early to snag a good seat on the lawn!
Amanda RemickSeptember 20, 2011Lawn Seats are totally where it's at if you want a chill relaxing space. Don't forget your water, blankets and food!
JennaJune 15, 2011I like the seats in the pavilion. I m not fond of the lawn. I n my experience I can't see anything from there.
Alisa GreenJune 8, 2013Lawn seats are fab because you vet the chance to move around and see all the beautiful people!!
If you're seated in the pavilion, keep your ticket super handy. They'll ask you for it a bunch when you're getting seated.
Don't spend money on the pavilion seats. The lawn is sloped and you can get great seats at the top.
MISSLISASeptember 24, 2013If you are traveling by shuttle/van/bus take pictures so your remember which one and where it was located- Don’t forget to get a free parking pass when ordering tix to get an assigned lot. Do NOT pay for parking! These are scammers.
Don't miss this event ever and always get your tickets online.

Mykl WuOctober 5, 2013It's all about the pregame. Also they're not that strict about bottles of water coming in. It ain't the TSA.- Fordcast TourJuly 27, 2011The @FordcastTour will be at @MerriweatherPP on 8/12 in full-force showing off the new Focus & giving you the chance to win some killer prizes (including tix to the show!). Make sure to stop by!
Check if your show allows you to bring lawn chairs before arriving to the venue
Keep A Breast FoundationJuly 26, 2011Every summer the Vans Warped Tour comes to Baltimore & with it comes the Keep A Breast Foundation to educate young people about breast cancer prevention & awareness! Prevention is the CURE! Read more
If this place weren't in the middle of nowhere it would be awesome. If they moved it to Rock Creek Park it would be perfect.
Tonyala Scott-wyndhamOctober 9, 2016the outdoor seating needs to be updated. and many of the greenery cut down
When the shows over stick arround or just take your time walking to your car cause its gonna take at least 20-30 min to get out of the parking lot
Shaneia StewartJune 4, 2012If you get a chance.. MUST ATTEND the Jazz Fest.. Charlie Wilson was AMAZING.. and KC & The sunshine band too!
Lipton Iced TeaMay 9, 2012While you’re waiting for your concert, watch our behind-the-tour video series with Lady Antebellum: http://bit.ly/DrinkPositive
The Virgin Mobile HouseOctober 6, 2012For our Swarm Special, the "Special Guest" is someone who’s already playing the Festival ;) Check in from anywhere inside Merriweather, but @ FreeFest!
Tip your bartenders, it will make you a better person inside
Angie HarmonSeptember 13, 2014Buy a shot. The teenagers at the bars don't know how much that is so they pour 3-4 at a time.
Steve LoganJuly 17, 2013No shakedown in the lot but decent lawn. MPP REALLY needs to update their video monitors for the show though - old, small and none facing the corners.
Kathryn DahlkeOctober 6, 2012Sipping dranks in the parking lot saves money & kicks starts the day on the goodfoot!
Washington BladeJuly 30, 2011The Black Eyed Peas will be performing Saturday night. Tickets range from $45 to $125. Doors open at 6 p.m.
Sisa delaCruz RhodesSeptember 30, 2011Great venue and the vibe is niiiice too. But traffic control is non existent and food/beer is overpriced.
