Jazz and Rib Fest in Columbus, Ohio

The Jazz and Rib Fest in Columbus will celebrate in July at the downtown riverfront in Columbus!

Location: Arena District – McFerson Commons, North Bank Park, Spring and Long Streets, Columbus, Ohio

Beginning Friday at 11AM, downtown Columbus will become a hotspot for barbecue and jazz connoisseurs. Festival-goers will be able to enjoy music at two stages from jazz artists.

This is one of my favorite festivals! Over 500,000 people attend this dynamic event. Not only is the food excellent but the entertainment is fantastic!

This is the largest rib festival in the USA. More than 30 ribbers from all over serve their special sauces and recipes.

Can you imagine more than 100,000 pounds of ribs are served? Oh and just imagine going from stand to stand and ordering the taste testers! You’ll find the best of the best ribs at this festival.

And the entertainment… the jazz is so awesome!!!
