The foodie feast begins Friday and continues through Saturday evening with great food, live music and special events. If you’re looking for a great way to spend an afternoon, a food lover eager to taste a delicious mix of the best food trucks, trailers & carts in Ohio or a music fan looking to experience the best sounds of central Ohio including national recording artists than the Columbus Food Truck festival is just for you! The Columbus Food Truck Festival is one event that offers something for everyone.
We are proud to announce The Columbus Food Truck Festival & the Development Board of Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Charitable Partnership: The 7th Annual Great Columbus Duck Race begins Saturday, August 18th at 11 am. The event will include a variety of kid’s activities, kid’s entertainment and will culminate with a massive splash of thousands of rubber ducks. Proceeds from the Duck Race benefit pediatric research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
We are also thrilled to have another charitable partnership with Music Loves Ohio: Music Loves Ohio is a wonderful local nonprofit that helps young, aspiring Columbus musicians in all sorts of amazing ways. They’ve given out free instruments, they’ve paid for summer music camps and they’ve sent talented young high schoolers to Berkeley for training. They are awesome people with the goal of making music attainable and affordable for all Columbus kids.
