One could spend every weekend and many weeknights celebrating food in Columbus this summer. Here are my top picks for fun food events: Ohio Food and Wine Festival - July 9 - 10 - I'm so bummed we'll be in Canada during this great event at the North Market!

PB&Jazz Concert Series - Saturdays July 10, August 14, and September 11 - Free hour long kids concerts from 12 - 1 at the Topiary Park behind the Main Library. Bring your picnic lunch and a blanket.

Goodale Park Music Series Potlucks - Sundays July 11-August 22 - Bring a dish to a food blogger hosted potluck starting at noon, fab free music starts at 1. I'm hosting for the fo/mo/deep concert August 15!

Jazz and Ribs Fest - July 23 - 25 - always a blazing hot good time

Gardening Like The Forest - talks starting July 23 - Permaculture expert Dave Jacke will give talks and workshops hosted by OEFFA throughout the state in late July and early August. I'm attending the Columbus talk on July 30 at a minimum.

Too Many Cooks Canning Jam - August 1 - Rachel will be leading a jam making workshop at Wild Goose. $10 for a good time and jar of jam to take home!

Hill's Kids Day - August 21 - Local vendors will present kid friendly activities complete with tasty samples, including a demonstration by Rachel.

Freshwater Farms Ohio Fish & Shrimp Festival - September 17 - 19 - We went last year and had a blast. Ever pet a sturgeon? If you go to the Shrimp Fest, you can check that one off your bucket list.
