Lakeside's programming is possible only through the philanthropic support of its patrons. Chautauqua Pass revenue covers only a fraction of the cost of presenting programs each year. The value of a Chautauqua Pass provides admission to the grounds and the Lakeside activities listed below. Please note that due to COVID-19 restrictions, Hoover Auditorium, the Rhein Center (inside only), Orchestra Hall and the Teen Center are closed for programming for the 2021 summer season.
