Central Ohio is home to hundreds of festivals, parades and events every year. Once the summertime hits, it feels like there’s a major event every single weekend.
This year our readers and editors picked the PRIDE Festival as the #1 in the city for the first time. After relocating from Goodale Park to the Scioto Mile in 2017, PRIDE has continued to evolve and expand, drawing hundreds of thousands of locals and visitors to spectate and participate. The three day event is held every year in mid-June with the signature parade event stepping off on the Saturday morning of the festival weekend.
