“The Out & About Festival captures the spirit of Wolf Trap—we are a community where music and nature are for all to enjoy,” explained Arvind Manocha, president and CEO of Wolf Trap Foundation, in a press release. “Brandi is an inspiration to artists and audiences, both for her unmistakable sound and for standing proudly as an icon of the gay community. We are really grateful for the chance to collaborate with Brandi and all of the guest artists to realize a shared vision.”
The festival begins with family-friendly shows at the rustic Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods each day with separate tickets required. Then, afternoon performances will be held at the intimate, open-air Meadow Stage. Wolf Trap’s Filene Center will host sets to close out the action.
