The Office Trivia Bar Crawl- Columbus, June 1 from 4-10 p.m.
Does this even need a bigger description? Hop from bar to bar and put to use your unnecessary knowledge of “The Office” with this trivia bar crawl. Early sign-ups will receive a free Dunder Mifflin shirt. Unfortunately for most college students, this is a 21 and up exclusive event.
Red, White, and Boom- July 4.
The Fourth of July in Columbus is a spectacle in itself. There’s an amazing firework display, live music, and other things happening around Columbus to celebrate America’s independence. Worried about the traffic? There are designated Cota pick-up locations that allow for free transportation to and from the event. People from all over Ohio attend this event and you can go too.
