☘️ The Ultimate Celtic Celebration Returns to Central Ohio

🤝 TOGETHER WITH THE DUBLIN IRISH FESTIVAL

The Dublin Irish Festival schedule is live, so you can start mapping out your weekend before you arrive. You can check set times, stage lineups, and activities online or through the festival app, which also lets you build a custom schedule and view maps. If you’re going, it’s probably worth downloading before you head out so you’re not figuring it out on the fly. To grab your discounted tickets (before July 19), head over to dublinirishfestival.org.

Somehow we blinked and August is already tomorrow (cue the Taylor Swift), so consider this your reminder to stop saying “we’ll do that this summer” and actually go do the thing. The Dublin Irish Festival kicks off today at 4 p.m., and we’ve got your guide to making the most of one of Columbus’ biggest summer traditions, plus all the events worth adding to your August calendar before summer slips away.

🍻 Boozy Shakespeare Theater Group Is Bringing Its Brand of Chaos to Columbus
I’m a big fan of Drunk History, and I’m a former theatre kid, so this theater company sounds like it’s right up my alley. I never thought I’d be laughing through Macbeth one day, but here we are.

🚗 Columbus to Myrtle Beach With Fewer Stoplights? The I-73 Pitch
A Columbus-to-Myrtle Beach road trip currently requires patience, snacks, and a questionable number of bathroom stops. A proposed I-73 corridor could eventually create a faster route south while tackling one of Central Ohio’s most frustrating stretches of highway.
