What can I bring into the performance venues, including the Amphitheater?
Chautauqua has a clear container policy for all perfomance venues. This means that if your bag is larger than 4.5 x 6.5, it must be see-through. We are sorry, but mesh bags do not allow us to see the contents well enough. Bags must be clear. Patrons are welcome to bring backpacks, diaper bags or other totes to Chautauqua Institution to facilitate their visit but if they want access to a specific venue, they must abide by the clear container policy. Solid containers for personal items, like a wallet or a glasses case, are permitted in venues as long as each of those items is smaller than 4.5 x 6.5. For our guests who use mobility scooters, please make sure any containers in your baskets abide by these restrictions.
