SOTP HACKS TO MAKE YOUR NIGHT EVEN BETTER 🎻
There are still 9 Symphony on the Prairie shows left this summer, so if you’ve got tickets—or you’re thinking about grabbing some—here are a few ways to make your SOTP night even easier:
🎻 Hack 1: Stay within walking distance.
Prairie Guest House is directly across the street from Conner Prairie, so you can skip the post-concert traffic and walk back to your room when the music is over.
🚗 Hack 2: Compare the Uber cost.
An Uber to and from SOTP can add up quickly, and often is about the same as the cost of a guest room at Prairie Guest House anyway—but with a room, you get an entire night away plus breakfast the next morning instead of a 20-minute ride home.
🧀 Hack 3: Don’t worry about dinner.
Pre-order a Fig & Rind charcuterie picnic box through Prairie Guest House and have your concert picnic handled before you even get to the lawn.

🍷 Hack 4: You don’t have to haul everything in.
Bring your favorite drinks, or purchase drinks from vendors at Conner Prairie. And if you don’t want to lug chairs across the lawn, you can even purchase a table with chairs for 10 included.
🌙 Hack 5: Make it more than a concert.
Stay the night, enjoy the concert, take your time walking back, sleep in a little, and wake up to breakfast at Prairie Guest House. It turns a few hours of music into an actual summer getaway.
