The Lima Symphony Orchestra will celebrate the Fourth of July with a “Patriotic Pops” concert on the campus of Ohio Northern University. The event is free and open to the public.

The concert will take place on the sculpture mall east of McIntosh Center between Presser and Weber Halls. This will be a fun filled family event exploding with patriotic music and a tribute to our armed services. The concert begins at 7 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to come early, bring lawn chairs and blankets and their favorite picnic foods and enjoy an evening of music with family, friends and neighbors on the scenic ONU campus. If inclement weather occurs, the event will be held in King Horn Center.

This is the first collaboration between the Lima Symphony Orchestra and ONU.

The event is sponsored by Quest Federal Credit Union, Robinson Fin Machines and the Haushalter family, Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, Cole Motor Sales, Liberty National Bank, the Village of Ada, ONU Residence Life, Bud and Barb Winzenreid, Fresh Encounter/Community Market, Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance, and U.S. Bank, Ada branch.
