it's actually pretty fun, it's a big bbq cookoff....

The Columbus Riverfest weekend, held the last full weekend in April each year, hosts a number of events. Taste the food at the Pig Jig Barbecue, take a ride on the midway carnival or in a hot air balloon, or watch the live entertainment.

if you stick around for the night stuff, there's the Tap (local hangout) and you can goto Scruffy's (irish bar) all within walking distance of the riverwalk area....
