The Columbus Arts Festival is HERE! 🎉 Finny and I went today to scope out some of the funtivities.

If you’re going with kids, highly recommend visiting tomorrow (Saturday) am to start the morning with WOSU Public Media for their Second Saturday event! It kicks off at 10am at the kids village right outside COSI.

There is sooo much to do so pack some snacks, bring the stroller even if you think you won’t need it, bring water for everyone, and spend the day supporting our great city and all these incredible artists.

Check our post from a few days ago for more details on parking and other recommendations! 👏🏼

🅿 Park on the street near the then head to FREE Commons for Kids right at 10AM.
🎨 Walk the three blocks over to The Scioto Mile around 11/11:30AM and make your way through all the art booths to check out some of your favorites.
🖌 Head to the Kid's Area that is in front of and maybe grab a bite to eat or open up that secret stash of snacks in your mom bag.
🔭 Take a break inside COSI and check out 1-2 exhibits.
🖌 Go back out to the Kid's Area and finish any crafts, activities, or shows you didn't get to enjoy yet.
🚘 Grab another bite to eat at a food truck or two and post up near one of the stages to listen to a little live music before heading back to your car and safely heading home.

Saturday or Sunday (Day Date!)
💕Leave the kids at home and enjoy art, drinks, music, and having an adult conversation without being interrupted 15 times but then talk about how you miss them the whole time.

Plus if you sit at the bar, it’s like a little show that entertains the kids while they make everything to order.

Campfire charcuterie! 🔥 Okay, this is a basic version but I wanted to see if the general concept worked and it did 100%.

Here’s what you need:
🧀 any kind of cheese cubed
🍖 whatever kind of meat you’d like, I had beef sticks
🥜 nuts, honey, or jelly for topping
🍞 a solid cracker, I love

Put your cheese on a marshmallow skewer and warm in the fire until it’s melty but doesn’t fall off. We had a few casualties, oops.

Smoosh on your cracker and add your toppings and enjoy!!

Next time I’m trying Brie with other jams for sure. What would you put on yours?
