GETTING AROUND THE ‘BURG

Easy to reach. Even easier to explore.

Reynoldsburg’s location in Central Ohio—and plenty of close, free parking anywhere you might explore—makes it a perfect driving destination for your weekend getaway or staycation. It’s less than a few hours’ drive from nearly anywhere in the state, and only 15 minutes from Columbus’ John Glenn International Airport.

THE TOMATO FESTIVAL

Live entertainment, carnival rides, tomato wars and more. Join us for a decades-long tradition.

Think you have what it takes to be champion of the Spaghetti Eating Contest, or to lead your team to victory in a dodgeball-style Tomato War (costumes encouraged)? Or maybe you’d rather relax and enjoy some carnival rides, world-class entertainment, and vote for your favorite local pizza. A tradition of more than 60 years, the Reynoldsburg Tomato Festival has something for everyone.
