Red, White & BOOM! It is an experience and a tradition for over 400,000 visitors who come together each Independence Day to celebrate our country and our community and honour our military and veterans. BOOM! is a safe and FREE event that features a parade, street festival, and two stages of live music entertainment.
BOOM! is the largest single-day event in Columbus and could not be possible without
