Can we all agree Summer in Columbus is the best when it comes to the number of activities that are going on?! Most weekends, it’s hard to choose because there are just that many.
One of my favorite things to do with my previous nanny kiddos (and now with my girls) is grab a blanket and picnic, then head to the closest outdoor music concert! While there are a ton of family friendly music events, the events listed below are directly for the kids! They’re happening during the morning/afternoon and they’re pretty much a huge dance party. So much fun!
