Summer is in full swing around here.
This is the best time of year to get out and enjoy many of the wonderful festivals that we have here in Central Ohio. From now until the fall, this city and the surrounding communities are packed to the brim with fun and exciting fests.
From food-based festivals to Labor Day celebrations to a multitude of wine and beer fests, you could spend each weekend from now until the end of summer at a different event.
