From festivals to visual and performing arts events, live music to recreational activities, unique shopping to independent restaurants and breweries and so much more, the summer is packed with great things to do downtown – and AES Ohio Summer in the City is a celebration of all of it!
Events & Activities Guide
Each year, we put together a handy guide and calendar that highlights dozens of great events happening downtown during summer. Watch for printed copies at downtown businesses and events, or download the guide here beginning in June.
But that’s not all that’s going on! Our online events calendar is constantly being updated with more downtown events to check out during the summer and all year long, so be sure to visit it frequently. You also can sign up to receive our weekly “e-vents” email newsletter to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the downtown events and activities planned each week.
In addition to the hundreds of events planned throughout downtown this summer, we’re also hosting a few special events of our own…
