What to Do this Weekend in Columbus

by Marie Esselstein

Hey sports fans!!! The NHL Draft, hosted by our own Columbus Blue Jackets, is at Nationwide Arena, with a packed schedule of things to do for players and fans alike, the Arena district is going to be hoppin’ all weekend! Parking is limited and what is available is pricey, so take a local’s advice and ride COTA.

Or once again, head back to the Riverfront, Columbus’ busiest festival location, for the annual Pride Festival. The Gay and Lesbian event attracts 100,000+ visitors a year and is the largest event of its type in the midwest.

Then again, you could set off for Goodale Park and take in Comfest. Courtesy of the Comfest website: “Come celebrate peace and social justice at Comfest, arguably the largest free, non-corporate urban music and arts festival in the US.”
