There are many activities to enjoy in Columbus in March.
March is a fantastic time to visit Columbus, Ohio. As the winter melts away, fresh crisp air and signs of spring greet visitors to the annual Arnold Sports Festival, the Columbus International Auto Show and the Columbus Restaurant Week, a gastronomical tour of Columbus. It might be chilly, but that doesn't stop Columbus from showing visitors a good time.
The Arnold Sports Festival
Over 35 events make Columbus' Olympics-like annual event a spectacle for sports lovers of all types. The festival culminates with the Annual Arnold Classic, a professional bodybuilding competition. Named for Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Arnold Classic has several divisions of competition, some for men and some for women.
