Get ready for one of the greatest musical experiences in St. Pete as The Florida Orchestra brings Pops in the Park to Vinoy Park this Saturday, September 24, at 7:30 pm. This round of Pops in the Park is particularly special because it marks TFO’s 55th season. The outdoor event is free to attend and this evening of pop culture under the stars may be the best date night in town.

Residents and visitors are invited to pack a blanket and picnic for free music under the stars. This concert has been a Florida Orchestra tradition for nearly 30 years. The playlist includes iconic film scores, Broadway hits and symphonic favorites. Chelsea Gallo is set to conduct for the evening. The entire show is set against waterfront views in Vinoy Park.
