Family Funday Columbus Commons
With summer just around the corner be sure to visit the Columbus Commons this weekend for some Memorial Day fun!
Join families from across central Ohio on Saturday, May 25 for Family Fun Day, a free event guaranteed to put a smile on your family’s face. Scattered across the Columbus Commons from 4-8 p.m., enjoy carousel rides, crafts, face painting and inflatables, which require a $5 hand stamp for access.
Also, make sure to pack some extra blankets and chairs, for you will not want to miss Ralph Breaks the Internet – presented by KEMBA Financial Credit Union – beginning at 8:15 p.m. right after Family Fun Day. With Taquero and Jeni’s open during the movie, this free event is sure to be a treat in more ways than one.
After a day of family fun, call up some old friends and come back to the Columbus Commons on Sunday, May 26 to watch Shadowbox Live celebrate women of rock ‘n’ roll music with their free performance of Leather and Lace: A Musical Tribute to the Women of Rock. A bar and food trucks will open at 6 p.m., giving you plenty of time to grab a drink, a bite to eat, catch up with some friends and relax before the music starts at 8 p.m.
