***Official GILFORD, NH 2023***Lakes Region

July 11+12

(Jeff's home state!)
Dave Matthews Band continues their mid-week two night tradition on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Many in the music industry, myself included consider Gilford, NH the hidden gem of the Northeast.

We've gotten some killer shows the last few years let's keep it going!

    Love it and the bands that go there do as well. It has everything they need for a mini vacation and the shows have been great.

    Hello,

    I'm looking to hit a new venue this summer, and zeroing in on Gilford. Leaning towards going up for a week to vacay and take in the shows, looks like there's lots to do in the region.

    Got very lucky this year with an Airbnb walkable to venue, but there are lots of options.

    Yeah it's definitely close enough to walk, depending on what end of it you're staying at. If you're close to the wal mart end, its a couple miles for sure, if you're closer to the liquor store side, you're basically right next to the venue

    Agreed. Definitely walkable if you are close to the liquor store end. Just be careful walking back at night as I don’t recall the road being well lit. I ended up on this road last year as part of the route back to Laconia

    hotel booked, can't wait. Saw Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms and Barenaked Ladies here last year and had a blast. The venue is so spaced out. For those looking for a sleeper brewery, we stumbled upon Lone Wolfe Brewery in Wolfesboro and the beer is awesome. IPA's and so forth, great craft beer. About a half hour from the pavillion.

    Yes, a parking pass is required. Tilton is probably better for hotels, restaurants and shopping.

    Has anyone had club seats? Looks like it's folding table with chairs? Just curious what to expect. Thanks in advance.

    The Hampton Inn on Laconia Road in Tilton has rooms. I stayed there two years ago and it worked out well - only 20 minutes from the show.

    When did you book? Website shows that it is sold out and when I checked a few days ago it was sold out too. I’ll try calling them later this week.

    I booked it yesterday. I just looked and found rooms available. If you go to Hilton.com, search for that hotel and put in 7/11 - 7/13, there were rooms still available.

    If I try to book for one night it shows nothing available but if I do two nights then it shows rooms available. I’m just going to the Tuesday night show though so I’ll stick with my original reservation at Steele Hill. Thanks for the info!
