The concert series is also part of America’s 250th Celebration in Marietta. Organizers said attendees can visit an information table at the event to learn more about citywide programs and activities commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary.

A limited number of stage-adjacent tables will be available for reservation for a fee beginning at 8 a.m. on the first working day of each month. Attendees may bring picnics or dine at restaurants around the square.
Organizers said blankets and lawn chairs may be placed in the park at any time on Fridays. Plastic ground coverings and materials used to section off areas, including ropes, tape and stakes, are not permitted in the park and will be removed. Personal tables must be set up in the street after 6 p.m. and are not allowed inside the park.

Organizers said Dininno, a School of Visual Arts graduate and Kuniyoshi Scholarship recipient at the Woodstock School of Art in New York, also had a more than 30-year career as an illustrator before becoming a full-time fine artist.
