Sundays at Scioto concert series marks 40 years as a beloved community tradition

What started as the Columbus Symphony Orchestra playing at the dedication of Scioto Park continues today. The free concert series Sundays at Scioto has taken place every year since (with the exception of  2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). 

“We work to bring a different variety of music to the community every season,” said David Guion, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Dublin Arts Council.

Partnering with Class Acts, a local entertainment agency along with corporate and community sponsors, this year’s lineup is the best yet. Featuring the OSU Active Alumni Band, Fleetwood Gold, Angela Perley, and the Hoodoo Soul Band. New this season, each concert will begin with an opening act featuring local up-and-coming artists including George Barrie, Andy Shaw, Devi + Liz and Lily Bloom. Food trucks are on site each week and attendees are invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets.

There are two Sunday concerts left in the series: Sept. 29, featuring Angela Perley and Cot. 6, with the HooDoo Soul Band. Both will be held from 5-7 p.m. at Scioto Park’s outdoor amphitheater. The park is also home to the first Art in Public Places public artwork, “Leatherlips,” created by Boston artist Ralph Helmick. The sculpture, dedicated in 1990 is a 12-foot-high portrait of the Wyandot Native American made with various sizes of native limestone stacked and mortared. It has become an iconic feature of the park.

Join friends and neighbors to unwind in nature and enjoy music with a beloved tradition since 1983.
