Tired of the same old weekend plans? Sure, Columbus has plenty of great concerts, sports games, and brewery tours, but if you’re looking for something truly out there, you’re in the right place.
Where else can you learn how to paint cats falling in love, try your luck at improv speed dating, or swap your city shoes for cowboy boots at a full-blown rodeo? Throw in a few murder mystery dinners and other delightfully bizarre events, and you’ve got a lineup that’s anything but ordinary.
If you’re ready to shake up your social calendar, here are the most ridiculously niche events happening in Columbus and Central Ohio.
