Free activities happening this month in Columbus

EVENT

In partnership with the good people of r/personalfinance, we're looking for the best free (or cheap) events or activities here in Columbus.

Obviously there will be Red White and Boom downtown along with many other firework shows in the area. But July is peak festival season with the Westerville Music and Arts Festival, The German Village Art Crawl and a Day in the Park in Marysville just to name a select few.

What events are you most looking forward to this July?

The Jazz and Rib fest is always a favorite.

I mean the festival is free but the food ain't cheap

Wasn't that in June, though? I'm thinking of the Gahanna Jazz and Ribs fest, is there another?

Edit: nvm, I was mistaken :)

It got moved back to its old location? I disliked it when it was moved over to the Arena District.

Gahanna was the Blues and Jazz festival. No ribs to my knowledge.

On Thursday's the Columbus Commons has a downtown concert series where local artists (like Mojo Flow, Forrest and the Evergreens, The Floorwalkers, etc.) play from 5:30-10:30pm! It's super fun. Bring a picnic blanket and a water to just enjoy live music!

They also serve beer there if you are into that too but that's not free :)

[Summer Jam West] (http://summerjamwest.org) (7/8) at Westgate Park! As a volunteer, I'm biased, but it is a really nice, family-friendly festival.

Franklinton Fridays happens on the second Friday of every month. 400 W Rich, the Idea Foundary, the Vanderelli Room, Rehab Tavern, and others open their spaces. It's free, you can wander around checking out art shows, performances, talk to people who make stuff, see something weird. It's different every month. You can spend nothing or not, as you like. Some of the spaces may offer you a drink or two.

This is where the new gallery hop is. It's a good time and worth checking out.
