Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I know it's only the second day of summer, but we need to talk about August for a second. Specifically, this epic sunflower festival that's taking place throughout the month. If you've never had the chance to stand in a field full (and I mean FULL) of sunflowers, I highly recommend the experience. These cheerful flowers will put a smile on your face, plus they're just begging to be featured in your next Instagram story or TikTok. Early bird tickets for the festival are on sale now and I have a feeling that tickets are going to go quickly.

I love a good garden tour, and no one does it better than German Village. The neighborhood is already so charming and then you get to explore some of the best-kept gardens in the city! What's not to love? The garden tour is going down this Saturday and we've got the details.

There's a new chicken finger joint in town. Huey Magoo's is a Florida-based restaurant and in the coming years, there are expected to be up to 20 new locations throughout Columbus and Dayton.

A new, 20-foot tall art installation will be going up in the Short North today. This is a massive project and it's going to be incredibly cool. I cannot wait to see it in person!
