Whether you’re just looking for a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, a food lover eager to taste a delicious mix of the best food trucks in Columbus or a music fan looking to hear great live music, the Whitehall Food Truck & Fun Festival is an event that offers something for everyone!

How many of us remember the excitement of getting ready for the first day of school? Your parents probably helped you choose new clothes, new shoes or maybe a brand new haircut. And of course, new school supplies.

The fourth annual Summer Jam Music & Arts Festival will take place from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. this Saturday, July 8, at Westgate Park. The theme for this year’s festival is Moovin’ and Groovin’ and you’ll find local bands, artists, food trucks, craft artisans, and kids’ activities for everyone in the family! To coincide with that theme, festival organizers will be encouraging awareness of healthy movement and being active. Kids can even stop in the Heartland Hospitality Tent and pick up a water bottle to use while they’re out Moovin’ and Groovin’

The Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival (CBJF) is a three day cultural celebration featuring hundreds of musicians, delicious cuisine, artisans from the region, amusement rides and engaging family activities. The event started nineteen years ago as a one-day dedication of Gahanna’s new Creekside Park area and the beginning of Olde Gahanna’s revitalization. The Festival has experienced unprecedented growth in attendance and has truly become more than the celebration of music, food and fun; it has become a premiere family summer event.

Summer is just around the corner and you’ll find Heartland Bankers busy supporting local communities all around central Ohio. We’ve got a collection of some of the great events that you should put on your list of ‘things to do’ and hopefully, we’ll get to see you when you’re out and about this summer!
