How to know when it’s time for DOGWOOD! the once-a-year downtown salute to spring 

Because the dogwoods are blooming, and it’s spring and because music makes life interesting and your heart leap, Pomerene Center for the Arts announces DOGWOOD! lunch concerts, an annual event (with two years off for Covid) since 1985. 40 years! This year’s schedule: May 6-9, noon.

Tuesday May 6 – Coshocton High School Jazz Band and Choir 

Wednesday May 7 – River View Jazz Band, Caribbean Drum and Certified Gold Ensembles 

Thursday May 8 – Ridgewood High School Choirs 

Friday May 9 – Ridgewood High School Jazz Band

Curious about what being in a school band or choir means to kids, Artistic Director Anne Cornell asked “what’s good about this for you?” Without prepared responses the students repeatedly said that belonging, being a part of a supportive group was really important. Cornell then asked the directors how the community can best support their programs, to a person the band and choir directors answered — be our audience.  Dawn Anglin of River View added “and bring someone young with you.”  

The Pom invites you to come out, bring someone young and help them kick off their free outdoor concert season. DOGWOOD! will be held at noon in the artPARK, 325 Main Street. Rain site: Fellowship Room at Coshocton Presbyterian Church.  


We’ll be rolling out (literally) our smokeless flat top wood grills for the 2nd year and serving grilled cheese sandwiches featuring Coshocton County’s world champion swiss with a selection of other cheeses made at Pearl Valley Cheese and a selection of dipping sauces. Pre-order options below
