While Wolf Trap’s outdoor Filene Center is the region’s classic summer stage, The Barns at Wolf Trap is its intimate, indoor counterpart just up the road. The venue is set inside restored 18th-century barns, complete with original hand-hewn beams and excellent acoustics.
From fall through spring, The Barns hosts an eclectic lineup of bluegrass, folk, comedy, and more. In summer, it returns to being the home to Wolf Trap Opera.
