Want to know what’s going on in Greater Cincinnati and Columbus this June? We’ve put together a brief guide to this month’s events so you don’t have to search all over the internets.

It’s spring again and that means festivals – in particular one of our favorites – the 4th Annual Asian Food Fest! Sample fare from local restaurants from Japanese to Indian and Chinese to the Philippines.

Like last year The Asian Food Fest is going to be held at The Banks in Downtown Cincinnati on Freedom Way between Elm and Rosa Parks Streets, or between the Paul Brown Stadium and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. There’s no entrance fee although guests will have to find parking at one of the many nearby garages or street parking.

It’s spring and you know what that means – festivals! There are so many we can’t devote separate posts to all of them so we’re doing them all in a new “roundup” type post where we give you the essentials.

First up are all the events going on in the Greater Cincinnati area (which are a lot!) followed by what we could find of all the events going on in the Greater Columbus area.

Cincinnati has so many great restaurants that it’s difficult to have a meal at all of them – and all those meals can add up. Cincinnati’s lucky to have some options to help hungry eaters sample different restaurants, and now we have an exciting new one: Dishcrawl.

Specifically, Dishcrawl’s St. Patty’s Day themed restaurant crawl around Cincinnati’s Central Business District.

Featuring four local restaurants – which is to remain a secret – the St. Patty’s Day Dishcrawl will celebrate the holiday with beer and a progressive meal. Dishcrawlers will learn the first restaurant two days before the event, and the rest the day of.

The 21st Annual Bockfest is this weekend, kicking things off with the Bockfest Parade on Friday, March 1st beginning at 6:00 p.m. at Arnold’s Bar and Grill and ending in Bockfest Hall with The Blessing of the Beer. The hall itself opens on Friday at 5:00 p.m. and closes at 1:00 a.m. On Saturday Bockfest Hall will be open from 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. and finally on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. The hall houses many festival activities all of which are free (except for tours) from live music to food and, of course, lots of beer. The final rounds of the Sausage Queen competition will be hosted there on Saturday evening.
