Pepsi Pops
Blast in the park + touring sensation
Against the backdrop of a balmy sunset, a starry night sky and the gentle waves of the Rez, MSO treats listeners young, old and in-between to a lineup of favorites from stage, screen and the top of the charts. Bring the kids, bring the parents, bring a date, bring some friends, bring a picnic if you like — this outdoor charmer fits all. Count on the always-splendid fireworks at the end to unite the crowd with a feel-good exclamation point!
Lawn chairs, blankets, shorts and snacks — this casual concert brings all the orchestral oomph of the rest of the season, but with the pops punch, swinging vibe and outdoor breeze that’ve been magnets for this season-ending splash for decades. Bike riders, hikers, boaters and drivers converge on Old Trace Park to soak up sweet sounds at one of the metro area’s loveliest spots.
Jackson folk and soul singer/songwriter Teneia Sanders routes her international touring schedule back home to add her own sparkling stamp to Pepsi Pops and revel in dazzling new orchestral arrangements for her songs. Fan-favorite movie, Broadway, TV and patriotic selections light up the evening lineup almost as much as the fireworks finale.
WELCOME: Chairs, blankets, and picnics
NOT WELCOME: Glass, alcohol, and tents
