What to expect
Planning a visit to Aitken Arts Plaza at Musco Center for the Arts
Choose Aitken Arts Plaza for the current outdoor Symphony in the Cities event rather than a performance inside Musco's Musco Center main hall. Confirm the outdoor location, registration, weather status, seating or blanket guidance, accessibility route, campus parking, and event schedule before arrival.
