The public is invited to the Lock 9 Launch Celebration as the park construction is completed and the park opens up for events and community use.
The launch concert will feature three bands performing at the outdoor pavilion from 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 27 at the park, 125 E. Water St., Piqua, OH. The Gamut takes the stage at 5:30 p.m., Ladi T of Cinci performs at 7:00 p.m., and Catalina Wine Mixer headlines the event at 8:30 p.m.
Attendees are invited to bring a blanket or a chair to enjoy the music in Piqua's new riverfront amenity with friends and family. The event is offered free of charge to attendees and is sponsored by Koverman Staley Dickerson Insurance.
There will be breaks between the performers to allow for the purchase of food and beverages from local establishments. The park is located within the DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area), so alcoholic drinks in a DORA cup from a participating establishment may be consumed in the park. Non-alcoholic drinks brought into the park are also permitted.
