What's Your Concert Personality?


Gahanna residents and visitors have a musical choice to make this summer—Music in the Park or Creekside Live @ 5. Both concerts begin at 7 p.m. on Fridays, but each is distinctly different. Of course, if you can’t chose, do both!

Tonight, the blue grass band, Death by Banjo takes the gazebo stage at Friendship Park for Music in the Park from 7-9 p.m. This event is hosted by the Gahanna Department of Parks & Recreation and sponsored by Strathmore Development.

Music in the Park is a free concert series every Friday that provides a fun, picnic-like atmosphere for all ages. Families may bring lawn chairs and a picnic blanket to enjoy the sounds of Blue Level, adult contemporary on August 2; Lords of Literature classic rock on August 9; and Fo/Mo/Deep, jazz funk on August 16.

The Gahanna Parks and Recreation Foundation hosts Creekside Live @ 5 the first and third Friday of each month, June through September, from 5-9 p.m. on the Rotary Stage at Creekside Park.

Tonight, the Foundation is excited for the Reaganomics, who will take the stage at 7 p.m. Be sure to get there early for happy hour specials beginning at 5 p.m. and DJ Brad Hudson. Proceeds benefit camp scholarships, community art initiatives and park improvements.

Upcoming bands include The Prodigals, Irish Rock on August 2; John Schwab Band, party variety on August 16; Grassinine, mountain rock on September 6; and Capitol Sound, soul/funk on September 20.

It’s time to choose, but, if you can’t, spend some time at each or rotate the weeks you attend. It’s your call. Either way, get out and enjoy all the parks Gahanna has to offer!

The full schedule and details are available at Gahanna.gov and GahannaParksandRecreationFoundation.org.
