July 3rd Columbus, OH will hold true to Mr. Adams’ wishes with the 29th presentation of Red, White and Boom! The celebration is a day long event held in downtown Columbus. The atmosphere is essentially festival. There are numerous stages with live entertainment, food, parades, activities and of course, fireworks. Activities throughout the downtown area begin at 10:00 am and will culminate with a 27 minute fireworks display scheduled to begin at 10:00 pm. For a more thorough list, be sure to check the Red, White and Boom! website. Here’s a few tips to make your Red, White and Boom! experience a memorable one—in the good way. * Do not bring alcohol, portable grills, or generators. There are more than enough food vendors and alcohol may be purchased and consumed in the Taste of Boom area in the Arena District. * Do not bring portable swimming pools. Seriously, it’s in the FAQ section. It must have been an issue at some time in the past. * Also, do not bring pop-up tents or canopies. They will be confiscated. Lawn chairs and blankets are perfectly acceptable. * Do not bring your own fireworks–even sparklers. They too will be confiscated. And honestly, do you think that your $2 Black Cat Popper is going to compare with the 27 minutes of sonic explosions scheduled for 10:00 pm? * There are dozens of public parking facilities in the downtown area. Keep in mind that they will fill early. Very early! Carpool when you can or make use of the COTA services (Central Ohio Transit Authority). COTA will be providing extended local route service for Red, White & BOOM! on the following routes:#1 Livingston Ave. For families attending the celebrations, the Childrens Park is open from noon to 6:00 pm. Located along the riverfront between Long and Broad streets the Childrens Park will have entertainment, inflatables, face painting and loads of family friendly activities. Make sure to stop by the Childrens Park at KidsLinked Central for a free safety bracelet that you can write your name and cell phone number and place on your kids in case they get lost.
