Concerts on the Green: The Perfect Worthington Evening
If you're searching for a relaxing, family-friendly weekend event, look no further than Worthington’s popular Concerts on the Green. Hosted by the Worthington Parks & Recreation Department and sponsored by The Laurels of Worthington and Worthington Dental, the free concerts are held on the Worthington Village Green on Sunday evenings throughout the summer months.
Since the concerts cater to a wide range of musical interests, from classic American standards to cabaret, blues, big band and rock and roll, there's something for every member of the family to enjoy. “We’re really excited about this summer’s lineup,” said Melissa Hindman, marketing and community outreach supervisor with the Parks & Recreation Department. “We’ve brought back a few of last year’s favorites and are thrilled to have added some fantastic new acts as well.”
While food will be available for purchase from a different local eatery each month, guests may bring their own picnic dinner or stop by one of Worthington’s amazing restaurants for some delicious take-out.
Here are a few more reasons to check out Concerts on the Green this summer:
- Walk Worthington – Interested in a little exercise before the concerts? Join Walk Worthington, a program of the Worthington Resource Pantry, for a two- to three-mile walk prior to each concert. Walks begin at 6:10 p.m. at the northwest corner of High Street and SR 161 and include a stop at Graeter's Ice Cream before returning to the Village Green.
- Frozen in July – Concerts on the Green is excited to host a screening of Disney’s wildly popular movie, Frozen, on Saturday, July 25. Bring the kids, cozy up on a blanket and enjoy a movie under the stars.

- Teeny Tucker – Concerts on the Green is excited to welcome Teeny Tucker to the stage on Sunday, August 16.
