Scioto Mile Concert: Dumpstaphunk

Bring the family out for a free evening of live funk music along the Scioto Mile this summer. Dumpstaphunk will take the stage with their signature New Orleans sound—a blend of funk, rock, and R&B featuring thick bass lines, layered harmonies, and spontaneous improvisation. The band has earned a stellar reputation in the modern funk world, drawing sit-ins from major artists like Carlos Santana, Flea, and Dave Matthews. Their high-energy performances are perfect for families who enjoy dancing and good music in an outdoor setting. The concert takes place at Bicentennial Park, with performances beginning at 7 p.m. Food trucks and a bar will be on-site, so you can grab refreshments while you enjoy the show. This event is part of the Scioto Mile Concert Series, presented by Columbus Recreation and Parks in partnership with the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA). It's a great opportunity to experience live music and local culture without leaving Columbus.
