Join us, and our presenting sponsor, Bartlett Wealth Management, at the base of the Cascade Fountain for an evening of music in the beauty of Ault Park. The event begins at 6 PM. Bring a blanket, chairs and a picnic dinner and enjoy an evening of music and fun. The program begins with a Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra performance, featuring vocalist Mandy Gaines. The music continues, with an ensemble from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Feel free to get up and dance!

In addition to the musical offerings, we will have a variety of fun family activities. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra will have an “Instrument Petting Zoo” where children can pick and try a variety of instruments. Cincinnati Parks will have supervised children’s games. And, Astronomer Dean Regas will have several telescopes set up for safe solar viewing!

No picnic? No problem! We will have Red Sesame Korean BBQ food truck on-site. And, a summer evening at Ault Park would not be complete without a tasty treat from Kona Ice.
