Out in Strausstown, Pat Garrett Amphitheater runs a middling-to-good shade profile, about 77% covered across a typical show, easing to roughly 53% if you count from 6 PM. That's enough that the covered seats feel meaningfully cooler than the open ones, so it's worth knowing which is which.
The pavilion holds the shade here. Sections 101, 201 and 202 all model out around 95% shaded, with 102, 203 and the covered Pit 1 close behind near 94%. Book anywhere in that block at Pat Garrett Amphitheater and you'll sit out most of the event in shade, whatever the sun is doing.
The grass is the exposed side. Lawn 6, 8 and 9 sit around 63% shaded, and Lawn 7 closer to 50%, the sunniest spots on the property. It's the familiar lawn trade: open sky and room to spread out, in exchange for more direct sun before sundown.
Shows start around 7 PM, and in high summer the sun over Strausstown sets near 8:34, sitting low in the west-northwest at about 15 degrees when the opener plays. That low light is what lawn-goers plan around, a hat and sunglasses handle it. Pennsylvania summer evenings are warm but usually not extreme, and they cool off after dark, so a light layer helps late in a show.
