Dublin Arts Council
There’s no better way to wind down your weekend than with live music, good company and scenic river views. Dublin Arts Council invites you to Sundays at Scioto, a beloved tradition since 1983, that brings the community together with music and nature.
This free concert series runs every Sunday evening from Sept. 15-Oct. 5, in Scioto Park’s newly renovated outdoor amphitheater, which is now equipped with new composite material decking for easier maintenance and a new shade canopy for artist comfort and added flexibility for less-than-ideal weather conditions.
Also new this year is the addition of a community art-making table led by local artist Bryan Moss. Moss, a Columbus-based muralist, painter and illustrator, has worked as a professional artist, educator and creative director in the area for the past 20 years. His work was showcased at a Public Art Speaks event last summer, and he has created illustrations of public art that have been displayed in the Dublin Art Council’s Art in Public Places collection.
Arrive early to explore all that Scioto Park has to offer. From the iconic “Leatherlips” public artwork to hidden geocaching-inspired RiverboxesTM. Different food trucks will be serving up delicious bites each night and art-making will also be onsite before and during each concert. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs, get comfortable and enjoy the show.
Parking and accessibility
Parking is free of charge. The City of Dublin staff will assist with parking on the park’s sled hill. It is important to arrive early as the park will close when it is at capacity. Overflow parking is a short walk away at Thaddeus Kosciuszko Park (4444 Hard Rd., 0.3 miles away at the intersection of Hard Rd. and Riverside Dr.) with police-assisted pedestrian crossing. There is no parking along Riverside Drive; vehicles parked there will be towed.
Accessible parking and restrooms are available, and the park offers a relatively flat lawn near the stage and an accessible sidewalk along the south side.
