Arguably, this past weekend marked the first true summer weekend in Columbus. The weather was spotty, but the major events were popping off in every corner of the city. This was one of those weekends where no one is allowed to use the excuse that “there’s nothing to do in Columbus”.
Rock on the Range blasted out of Crew Stadium all weekend long, which featured the first reunion show by the Stone Temple Pilots. Race for the Cure took place on Saturday morning and set an attendance record with over 40,000 participants. Village Valuables also took place Saturday morning in German Village, where people from all over the city go garage sailing. Hempfest took place on Saturday at OSU, while Flight of the Conchords took the stage at the Schott the night before. The Hell City Tattoo Festival took over part of the Convention Center for the weekend, and the North Market hosted their annual Apron Gala across the street on Saturday. And even though it wasn’t a gallery hop weekend, a great art event was still to be found over at Junctionview, where the Bike Art Show took place.
Just a great example of how there’s something for everyone in Columbus. Get ready for more big weekend events, all summer long.
Game on!
I think you could make a decent list like this just about every week from now until it gets too cold to feel your toes.
I’ve never understood the mentality of those people bored in this city.
You know, I think I might try to make a list like this every week. But I’ll try to do it on the Thursday/Friday before instead of the Monday after. 8)
I always have the problem of having to pick and choose between multiple things I want to go and do. Anyone who plays the boredom card is just too lazy to look to see what’s going on any given weekend.
Please do!
I love seeing event lists like this – there’s invariably something going on in town that I had no clue about, and I always hate finding out about stuff like that AFTER the fact.
Lisa has a pretty regular “Things to do in Columbus” feature over on her blog, so maybe some collaboration is in order?
Just out of curiousity, who was performing at the LC pavillion Saturday night? We drove past on our way to TipTop Lounge and there was a huge line of people (mostly teenagers).
That was Panic at the Disco and The Hush Sound, and it TOTALLY is a teen crowd. My daughter wanted to go, but she had to choose between that or She Wants Revenge for her birthday concert because “we are not made of money”.
Can I say that on my way to the Race for the Cure on Saturday there were already crazy teenagers out at 8 am waiting in line?
Oh, youth.
Oh, youth.
I kind of think that becomes the dividing line between youth and adulthood: when standing in line 12 hours for… anything… doesn’t sound fun anymore.

12 hours… how about 12 minutes? :lol:
