Red, White & BOOM! Coming to You.

The annual fireworks show, Red, White & BOOM! is returning to downtown Columbus, Ohio this year. But the event is more than just a fireworks display. Festivities start at noon on July 3rd with Columbia Gas' Children's Park. The Park advertises COSI on Wheels, carnival games, inflatables, face painters, and balloon twisters. The Arena District's Taste of BOOM! kicks off at 3pm, allowing people to walk Front St. to Neil Ave. while sampling food from top resturants and enjoying live entertainment. Central Ohio's largest independence day parade begins at 6pm on the Main St. Bridge. With over 70 entries, the parade offers excellent entertainment for the whole family. The fireworks start at 10pm, during which time you can witness live broadcasts from NBC4 (5-11pm) and WNCI (10-11pm). The party doesn't end there, though. The official after-party takes place at The Three Legged Mare, a locally-owned irish pub in the Arena District!
