TRUCKS TAPS AND TUNES ON THE ESSEX EXPERIENCE GREEN 
 

The Green at The Essex Experience began its life as a small garden and gazebo in the center of a successful shopping plaza. Each year it would be decorated with Christmas lights for shoppers to appreciate. It was less of a green, and more of a landscaping piece. Flash forward to today, with over 12,000 square feet of grass, and a capacity of 1500 at times, it has firmly planted itself as The Green at the center of all of our campus gatherings. 

 

Trucks Taps and Tunes is a free community oriented event every Wednesday on The Green from June 14th - August 16th presenting a rotating series of live music, food trucks, and beer! 

 

There is no overhead cover on The Green or seating offered, though you may bring umbrellas and lawn chairs.  

Glass and outside alcohol are prohibited. Blankets, low chairs, and food are permitted. All events are rain or shine. All dates, acts, and ticket prices subject to change without notice. 

 

SAFETY AND SECURITY POLICIES 

 

All bags are subject to searches prior to entering the venue, no exceptions. 

Our patron’s safety and security is our top priority. To protect the safety of our patrons, staff and performers you’ll be greeted upon entry by one of our security personnel who will conduct a thorough but speedy check of all bags and purses. 

 

Smaller clutch-style pocketbooks/purses and other bags will generally be allowed into the venue, however, all bags will need to be searched by security personnel. Contents will need to be fully viewable by security personnel. Clear totes are encouraged!  

Pocketbooks/purses and other bags which are not fully viewable (where they are stuffed full with items making it difficult to view everything inside the bag without emptying the bag) may be asked to be returned to the patrons vehicle at the discretion of the security personnel. 

 

The only exceptions to this policy include infant and toddler product packaging for our children’s daytime shows. 

 

The following items are also not allowed inside the venue under any circumstances: firearms, including those carried by off-duty law enforcement; weapons of any kind; sharp items such as knives (including pocket or “Swiss Army”-style knives), multi-tools, screwdrivers and scissors; illegal substances; laser pens; fireworks, or any item that can be deemed potentially harmful, including pepper spray and Mace. 

 

People attempting to bring in the items listed above will be asked to return them to their vehicle which will delay their entrance inside the venue.
