Where to Get Takeout for the Redlands Bowl & Redlands Theatre Festival
Discover where to pick up travel-friendly takeout — perfect for an outdoor picnic at the hottest summer concerts and performances!
We’re gearing up for the 2024 Redlands Bowl season and Redlands Theatre Festival starting June 20 and 21!
Our local summer-long concert series is free and features renowned artists — from Redlands and throughout the world.
The annual Redlands Theatre Festival is reasonably priced and showcases Broadway Musicals and new works.
While you could attend with just your wits about you, there’s no better way to enjoy one (or all) of these performances than with a picnic! There’s something particularly special about dining al fresco to live music and theatre.
But you want to make sure the food fits the occasion. You’re looking for meals that travel well and can easily be consumed by plastic fork or hand.
