Details

The Grand Rapids Symphony is reviving our most iconic and popular summer tradition, Family Fare Picnic Pops.
Led by Pops Conductor Bob Bernhardt and featuring celebrated baritone Craig Irvin, an evening of Americana awaits guests, including a dazzling drone show illuminating the sky while the Symphony provides the live soundtrack for a magical finale. Selections ranging from American composers such as Copland, John Williams and Sousa to the works of famed lyricists Rogers and Hammerstein – and so much more – will offer an ode to the music and artists who have shaped the country for the last two centuries.
