Picnic at the Pops! presented by the Modesto Symphony Orchestra is an annual event that is held on the grounds of GALLO and has been a community favorite since it began in 1995. This family-friendly picnic concert attracts thousands of music-lovers from Modesto and the neighboring communities for an evening of orchestral pops music, dancing, and fun beneath the stars.
Concert attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket, pack a picnic, and enjoy all that the outdoor space has to offer. Outside alcohol is prohibited; wine and an assortment of beverages are available for purchase, with all proceeds benefitting the MSO. For those not looking to pack their own picnic, patrons may pre-order meals or purchase food on-site from local food trucks and vendors.
