One of Modesto’s traditional ways to close out the summer season is the annual Modesto Symphony Picnic at the Pops. Join 4,000 of your local friends on the lawn of the Gallo Winery, for a great evening of gathering, fun and music that combines our Symphony with some of the greatest popular showcases.
This year the event promises a full-evening symphonic tribute to the magic of Motown, feature the exceptional talents of your Modesto Symphony Orchestra led by Principal Pops Conductor, Ryan Murray, and the vocals of Chester Gregory, Crystal Monee Hall, and Terron Brooks, performing smash-hits made famous by artists like Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, the Temptations, and Stevie Wonder. Everyone will be Dancin’ in the Steets.
You can bring your own food, but wine and adult beverages must be purchased at the event as this is as fundraiser for the Modesto Symphony. The support of the Gallo Winery has been huge for the Picnic at the Pops tradition. There are no bad seats, but you can get VIP that has premium parking and seating locations.
The Symphony is hoping for a nice evening and that the rain will stay away.
