Picnic With The Pops In Columbus, Ohio

The 2008 Picnic with the Pops Update.

Notice from the Columbus Symphony: To our valued patrons and supporters, As you no doubt know by now, the Columbus Symphony will not be presenting its Picnic with the Pops series this summer. The current financial situation makes it impossible to present these concerts without financial risk that we are not currently able to assume. We are hopeful that our 2008-2009 season will go on as planned beginning next fall, and that we will return to the lawn of Chemical Abstracts next summer. We thank you for your support and look forward to once again presenting Columbus's premiere summer entertainment choice.

Get your lawnchairs, blankets, and picnic baskets out and join in the summer fun!

Location: Chemical Abstracts Lawn, 2540 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, Ohio
