If April showers bring May flowers, then what does the end of March bring? An incredible lineup of super fun events throughout the month of April, of course!
Whether you’re looking for some concerts to headbang at, comedy events to spit-take at, pop-up markets to shop at, or even take a trip to outer space, this list has you covered (and then some!).
We hope to see you at some of these events in Central Ohio this spring!
