The ghost-with-the-most is haunting the stage in Beetlejuice Jr. Follow Lydia Deetz into a world of ghosts, laughs, and high-energy musical numbers in this family-friendly adventure from Columbus Children’s Theatre. Don’t miss the spooky fun!
Hello, Thursday! Chelsea, here.
Thursday feels like the perfect day to start making weekend plans, and I have a suggestion: go thrifting. Columbus has some seriously impressive consignment shops where designer labels, timeless staples, and the occasional "I can't believe someone gave this away" find are waiting on the rack. The best part is that every visit feels a little bit like a treasure hunt, which is infinitely more fun than scrolling online (and probably better for your brain, I assume). If your weekend could use a little retail therapy, we've got your itinerary covered.

🎡 The Best Things To Do In Columbus This Weekend
Good luck staying home this weekend. The Ohio State Fair is in full swing, the Dublin Irish Festival is back, Pelotonia riders are hitting the road, and that's just the beginning of what's happening around Columbus. Are you ready to say goodbye to July and hello to August?
🎓 Columbus State Won’t Pursue Proposed 2026 Levy After All
Columbus State is no longer moving forward with its proposed 2026 levy, shelving plans that would have expanded tuition-free college and lowered costs for Franklin County students.
Headlines 📰
🏈 Two Buckeyes swapped football drills for food boxes this week, volunteering at Mid-Ohio Food Collective to help pack meals for seniors across Central Ohio. Riley Pettijohn and Nate Roberts said giving back to the Columbus community is just as important as what happens on the field. (ABC 6)
🏛️ Columbus is pulling the plug on its long-planned new municipal courthouse after construction costs climbed from $200 million to more than $335 million. Instead, the city says it will renovate the existing building and redirect at least $75 million toward neighborhood projects like parks, sidewalks, and public safety. (WOSU)
🍸 Fresh off being named the Best U.S. Restaurant Bar, Brewery District favorite Cobra is sharing one of its standout summer cocktails. If you can't snag a table this weekend, you can at least mix up the Amber by 311 Negroni at home. (Columbus Monthly)

The Kicker🤳
🐈 Forget influencers. Clintonville's biggest celebrity is an orange cat named Wanderin Joe, and yes, hundreds of people recently gathered for Joe Fest to celebrate him. Honestly, if your neighborhood doesn't have a beloved ravine cat with his own festival, what are you even doing? (There’s even a whole Facebook group dedicated to Wanderin Joe sightings 😻)
