The Grand Rapids Symphony is reviving our most iconic and popular summer tradition. The Family Fare Picnic Pops is moving to Millennium Park’s Secchia Meadows and will feature three unique concerts for every music lover!

Picnic Pops debuted at Cannonsburg Ski Area in 1995 and quickly became a family-friendly West Michigan summer favorite. The series was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and since then the Symphony has been working to bring Picnic Pops back to the community. We hear from our patrons quite frequently how much they missed the series, so it’s been a goal of ours to revive it.

With a new location, stunning lineup and the backing of our extraordinary orchestra, we know it’s going to be an incredible summer of symphonic fun!
