This Weekend in the 614: Sep 26-28
Mac and cheese at Easton, Buckeyes at noon, Palace at 100, and stand-up on Sunday. Status: This weekend.
Thursday is the day we pull the best of the next three days from our own events calendar. Here are six ways to spend September 26 through 28 without scrolling five other sites.
- Columbus Mac & Cheese Festival - Friday at The Yard at Easton Town Center, a comfort-food fest that leans hard into the namesake dish.
- Dan Tyminski Band at Scioto Mile - Friday evening bluegrass on the riverfront lawn downtown.
- Ohio State vs Illinois - Saturday noon at Ohio Stadium for the Illibuck trophy under Big Noon energy.
- Palace 100: The Birthday Celebration - Saturday afternoon free community party for the Palace Theatre's centennial.
- Harvest Blooms - Saturday at Franklin Park Conservatory with fall plantings, pumpkins, and chrysanthemums.
- Gary Gulman at Lincoln Theatre - Sunday night stand-up on the Misfit tour.
If you want a longer Saturday, stack Harvest Blooms with the Palace birthday stop before kickoff traffic peaks, or save Fang Fest at Green Lawn and the Quarter Horse Congress at the Expo Center for the all-day crowd. Full listings stay on our Events page, with neighborhood context on Downtown and visitor pacing in weekend in Columbus.
Pick one lane and go. The calendar will still be there Monday.
