The Super Bowl, Camellias and Riverdance?! - This Week's Events in Columbus
February 5, 2026 Edition

Super Bowl week is here! The biggest game of the year is this Sunday. I’m curious, do you watch more for the game or just to see the commercials? Respond to the email and let me know your reason for tuning in! We have some fun events this week, including an event that I remember seeing 30 years ago in Columbus, Riverdance! That makes me feel very old, but I can still remember what an amazing show it was. I’m pretty sure I still have that old program lying around somewhere. Aside from that, the events this week are all very different from each other, so as long as you enjoy something from gardening, dancing, murder mysteries, cars and cooking, you’ll find something to like!
Enough rambling, let’s get to the good stuff!
