'Tuesdays on the Terrace' outdoor concert series returns to Strawbery Banke Museum 

PORTSMOUTH – Thirteen different local musicians and bands return to Strawbery Banke Museum for Tuesdays on the Terrace, the popular open-air concert series. Each Tuesday evening, June 21 through September 13, 2022, a variety of local musicians perform on the open-air stage on the Terrace. Guests are encouraged to bring their own seating of lawn chairs or blankets. Admission per concert is $5, free for children under 3. Museum members receive free admission. Tickets are available in advance online via StrawberyBanke.org/music-series.cfm or by cash or check at the door.

This season Strawbery Banke has partnered with the Puddle Dock Restaurant to offer a selection of boxed picnic-style dinners available for advanced purchase ahead of each concert. Beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase onsite from DeeLuxe Bartending. In addition, guests are welcome to bring their own picnic dinners and non-alcoholic beverages. 

“Tuesdays on the Terrace is a gift to the community,” said Lawrence J. Yerdon, President and CEO. “The outdoor concert series is a wonderful addition to the slate of Strawbery Banke events and showcases the talent of accomplished musical acts from the Seacoast area."
