November brings the holiday season to Columbus Ohio, and the city has lots of fun activities taking place this month! So whether you live in Columbus, are visiting relatives, or are here on business, we hope you can get out and enjoy all the festivals, sporting events and musical performances our city has to offer!
Edwards Communities has put together a list of events we think you shouldn’t miss! Here are our “Around Town Picks” for November:
Ohio State Football – Saturdays, Home & away
The Buckeyes will conclude their regular season this month with home games against Nebraska on November 3 and the team up north on November 24; and away games at Michigan State on November 10 and Maryland on November 17. If the Bucks play away or you can’t snag tickets to a home game, there are plenty of places to tailgate in Columbus and cheer our Buckeyes to a win, including Edwards’ private club, The Barn! Go Bucks!
