With July coming to a close and fall semester quickly approaching, the last minute push to end summer break with a bang is desperately needed. Classes, jobs and organization duties will soon be the focal point for many of us college students and the summer break countdown will be refreshed. To end the summer on a great note, here are just a few upcoming or ongoing events in the 614 that will surely be worth checking out!
The Ohio State Fair – July 27 to August 7
The Ohio State Fair is one of the largest State fairs in the USA. With that type of credential, how could you not check it out? There are plenty of concerts and events that will be held every day this year and the FOOD (most important part) will be greasy, sugary and will definitely clog an artery or two. Check out special discounts for tickets on line and the list of awesome events each day!
Sounds On The Town Concert Series – Now to August 31
On Wednesday nights from 6-9, Easton Town Center features a mix of local, regional and even national performances. How great does doing a little shopping and listening to live music sound? Take full advantage of FREE shows for your enjoyment.
JazZoo! – Now to August 12
Every Friday the Zoo transforms itself from a place of screaming children and roaming animals to a music-filled space with a nice ambiance to match. With the Columbus Jazz Orchestra providing the tunes, it’s been pretty popular so far this summer. Grab your significant other/friends and enjoy an evening of jazz and food! Tickets can be found online or at the gate.

The 7th annual Beer Fest will be held at Express Live this year and will include over 350 craft beers from over 100 breweries from around the Columbus area and the country!

The Columbus Food Truck Festival – August 12 to August 14
Back at it again with the food trucks! The food truck festival is set for mid-August. A 3-day event that will feature over 70 of the best food trucks around Ohio (Late Night Slice anyone?!). There will be plenty of food, live music and crafts for all ages. Head to the Columbus Commons for this cool event.
