Cool and the Gang | Jefferson Starship
Pop into the Columbus Symphony Orchestra’s Picnic with the Pops concert series running June 14-July 27 on the Columbus Bicentennial Pavilion stage at the Columbus Commons. Gates open at 6 p.m. and performances begin at 8 p.m.
Kicking off its first week with a bang, the orchestra will have two exciting performances this weekend featuring R&B/funk group Kool and the Gang on Friday and American rock band Jefferson Starship on Saturday.
While almost every other weekend offers only one amazing performance, they’ll be sure to keep you dancing all night long. For a full line-up, click here.
An event for people of all ages, Picnic with the Pops is a great chance to gather with family and friends for an outdoor evening of great music and fun over a homemade picnic basket. General admission lawn-seating tickets are $30 for adults and $10 for children aged 3-14. Children 2-years-old and under are free. Make sure to bring a blanket or lawn chair for seating.
