We’re getting a preview of summer with upper-70° this week, and we are so ready. From live music and Memorial Day celebrations to hiking and festivals, summer is when CBUS comes alive.

Get ready to get outside with this guide featuring summer happenings — including ideas for the Fourth of July — between May and August.

The great outdoors

When the weather is above 60° in CBUS, we want to be outside as much as possible. That’s why we are resharing these handy guides to make sure you spend your summer just like us — outside.
  • Make the most of the good weather with 25 local restaurants offering outdoor dining.
  • Looking to get more fit this summer? So is City Editor Mitch, and that’s why he’ll be using these outdoor trails for running, hiking, and walking.

Memorial Day with NVMM

The National Veterans Memorial and Museum is the place to be for all things Memorial Day weekend. They will begin their commemorations and celebrations on Saturday, May 25 and finish on Monday, May 27.

Independence Day ideas

Local organizations will be hosting celebrations throughout the week ahead of Thursday, July 4.
  • Doo Dah Parade and Music Festival | Thursday, July 4 | Goodale Park + Short North | The parade showcases the truly strange side of Columbus as no registration or theme is required to join the march, and it’s one of City Editor Mitch’s favorite events to attend each year.
