New benefits, such as Mobile Passes
Because of your feedback to our Guest Satisfaction Survey, we’re making significant improvements to your experience at the gates, including the convenience of scanning Chautauqua Passes from your mobile device, the option to print passes from home and the ability to forward passes to your guests. 

Purchase passes online for these benefits: We encourage you to purchase Chautauqua Passes and Auto Passes online prior to your arrival. By purchasing online, the Gate Attendant will be able to scan your mobile pass or printed pass at any gate. If purchased online, you’ll also be able to forward passes to your guests in advance.

Dedicated lane at Fifth Street Gate for Season Passholders: This summer, there will be a dedicated incoming-only lane at the Fifth Street Gate for homeowners and Season Chautauqua Passholders. A Gate Attendant will be available to scan passes upon entry.

Preservation Fees do not apply to Season Passholders: It’s important for daily and weekly guests to help care for the grounds, historic structures and Lakeside’s infrastructure. It shouldn’t only be a burden to homeowners. Therefore, the Lakeside Chautauqua Board of Directors decided that a Preservation Fee will be added at the time of purchase to all Adult Daily and Weekly Chautauqua Passes: $1 per pass per day if purchased online prior to your arrival or $2 per day per pass if purchased upon entering the gates. The Preservation Fee does not apply to Season Chautauqua Passes or Youth and Child Passes. 
Enriching experiences all summer long
With a Season Chautauqua Pass, you can participate in hundreds of enriching Lakeside experiences offered all summer long. Here’s a snapshot of what to expect. For more fun, visit our Calendar of Events. 
Religion: Every summer, Lakeside welcomes inspiring preachers, pastors, and leaders from around the world to lead worship on Sundays in Hoover Auditorium and Faith for Living Hour during the week. From the Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Andrew Forrest to the Rev. Dr. Karoline Lewis and Bishop Gregory Palmer, you’ll be inspired, and your faith will be strengthened, by all 15 visiting preachers. We've also added a Roman Catholic Mass on Thursday evenings at the Train Station.
Education: With an engaging Chautauqua Lecture Series lineup, you will have the opportunity to explore diverse topics, such as gardening, jazz, environmental sustainability, social justice, World War II, the Supreme Court, Great Lakes lore and more. This summer, we will welcome Ohio Poet Laureate Kari Gunter-Seymour to the Hoover Auditorium stage and dynamic speakers like the creator of your favorite comic strips, Funky Winkerbean and Crankshaft, Tom Batiuk, in Orchestra Hall.
