They're covered in blankets of synthetic lawn, a product that's actually made from soybeans.

The performances begin tonight with a free concert from Tony winner Norm Lewis. It gets underway at 8 p.m., and it's one of over 150 events promised for the summer season.

Tickets are free and available through an online lottery system.
