The second annual Goodale Park Music Series will present six free outdoor concerts at the park’s gazebo this summer. All shows run from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. rain or shine. The lineup features these Columbus performing acts:
- July 11: Colin Gawel & The Lonely Bones
- July 18: The Mooncussers
- August 1: Yumbambé
- August 8: The Spikedrivers
- August 15: fo/mo/deep
- August 22: Flypaper
Wholly Craft will sell a variety of craft items made by Columbus artists and designers at each show. Every performance will also feature a potluck hosted by one of six prominent local food bloggers: CMH Gourmand, Columbus Foodie, Hounds In The Kitchen, Hungrywoolf, Restaurant Widow, and Taco Trucks Columbus. Community personalities Jill Moorhead and Lauren Wilson will orchestrate and promote the potlucks, which will be themed according to the types of music being performed.
The goal of these concerts is to celebrate community and support local musicians from multiple musical genres. Children and well-behaved pets are more than welcome. Camaraderie and bare feet in the grass are highly encouraged. The series is funded by the Short North Foundation, Short North Civic Association, Friends of Goodale Park, Italian Village Society, Harrison West Society, and ComFest.
