(614) 221-8492Columbus, OH - April Showers bring May……?!?! Oh right…still brings May Showers. Well, let’s keep fingers crossed for “June Flowers” and dry streets in downtown Columbus. This year The Columbus Arts Festival presented by Time Warner Cable is expecting a record number of art lovers to journey to the Downtown Riverfront on June 1, 2, and 3 to help celebrate this momentous occasion.
“Why Drive When You Can PEDAL INSTEAD”
Columbus continues to expand its biking efforts and the Columbus Arts Festival hopes festival goers, friends and family will choose to bike down to the Scioto Mile to enjoy the festival. Pedal Instead will be providing a secure bike corral on Civic Center drive, just north of Town Street.
And starting the week of May 30, www.yaybikes.com will be providing information regarding the Columbus Arts Festival and downtown biking to help everyone enjoy the weekend festivities.
