Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.

You know that feeling when you see a glowing vintage sign and suddenly you're craving a root beer float and a trip to a mid-century motel? Today’s feature is all about chasing that vibe. We’re headed to Cincinnati to explore one of the most delightfully nostalgic spots in the Midwest: the American Sign Museum. It’s retro, it’s neon, and it might just be the coolest museum you didn’t know you needed to visit.

🏰 A Massive Celtic Festival Is Returning To Renaissance Park This Summer
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to wear a kilt and eat a meat pie, this is it. The Ohio Celtic Festival is back with live music, dancing, whiskey tastings, and more—basically all the plaid-filled summer magic you could want.

🕯️ Twilight Is Coming Back To The Big Screen In Columbus With Live Music
Dust off your "Team Edward" tee! Twilight in Concert is headed to the Palace Theatre, and it’s the moody, candlelit throwback we deserve. The original film will play with a live 12-piece band performing the soundtrack, so hold on spider monkeys!

Today's Photo 🤳

😍 Keep your eyes peeled on the trails this spring. Ohio’s official wildflower is putting on a show! The large-flowered trillium may look delicate, but it’s a patient powerhouse. It can take up to 10 years for one of these beauties to bloom. Worth the wait, right?
