The 2024 Columbus Arts Festival is right around the corner. This incredible event will showcase over 250 visual artists, four stages of performances, and dozens of food vendors. Thousands of people will gather for the festival and the best part is that it’s completely free to attend. For more info, head over to columbusartsfestival.org.

Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome to June, everybody! It’s a new month which means it’s time to talk about all of the restaurants you need to get out there and try. We’ve had some really interesting eateries (and some breweries as well) join the Columbus food scene in the last month and it’s making me so excited for the rest of the summer. We have some incredible restaurants on the horizon and this group is kicking summer off with a bang!
