Looking for 2019 Fourth of July events? Check out our most recent guide: 13 Fourth of July Events + Fireworks Displays in Columbus, Ohio
241 years ago, our founding fathers signed our great nation into existence — giving us freedom as well as one heck of a reason to celebrate. Fourth of July weekend is finally upon us, bringing with it the chance to gather with friends and family and enjoy one of the most anticipated highlights of the season. While hosting a picnic and lighting sparklers at home is great, there are so many exciting events in Columbus, and it would be a shame to miss out on the fun. Fireworks will go off around town on the evening of Independence Day, but we plan on celebrating all weekend long with concerts, 5Ks, festivals and more. Below, we've gathered up some of our favorite events in town, so don your star-spangled apparel and get ready to make this weekend one for the books.New Belgium Brewing's Tour de Fat | July 1
This brewery based out of Fort Collins, Colorado knows how to bring the party, and they're bringing it to Columbus this Fourth of July weekend! New Belgium's Tour de Fat will feature a full day of live music, circus-like antics, a bike parade, costumes (highly encouraged), and of course plenty of cold brewskis. Additionally, you'll be able to try your luck in the bike arena, which offers the chance to ride (or attempt to ride) the weirdest bikes you've ever seen.The Columbus Symphony's Patriotic Pops | July 1
