Comfest 2006: Columbus Gets Wild

Here we are again: Rain or shine, it’s ComFest time! Can you believe it’s the 34th year? Now, where did we leave off when all the music got washed out on Saturday last year? Sunday was glorious, of course, but we have at least a good six hours of remedial ComFest partying to do this year, don’t you think? Better start out early, and make a plan. This year, there are even more temptations. Beside the six performance stages, a whole new venue, the Solar Stage, has opened up to meet audience demand for spoken word presentations. Community Festival’s Street Fair welcomes 36 new vendors bringing the total to over 200 participants in this competitively juried arts marketplace. In addition to the best global food selection of any fest you’ll visit this year, our annual homeplace gathering now includes 18 new community organizations along the tree-shaded lanes of ComFest Village. And the Beer Committee also added many new taps this year.
