Welcome to the City of Columbus and welcome to the 32nd Jazz & Rib Fest. We couldn’t be happier that you are joining us for this annual event that brings the hot taste of ribs and the cool sounds of jazz to our city streets.

This is an exciting time for our city and our Recreation and Parks Department with the opening of the � rst phase of the new Scioto Mile downtown, the continued expansion of our bike trails, and all of the summer camps and programs that work toward keeping our kids active and healthy, as well as our new Application for Pride, Purpose and Success program geared for teens and young adults to keep them engaged in positive behavior. These investments in our citizens and in our neighborhoods make all of us healthier, safer, and provides for a more economically competitive city. Make no mistake that we are continuing to make Columbus the best city in the nation to live, work and raise a family. We hope you enjoy this year’s festival with your family and friends and that you enjoy everything our city has to offer.

Michael B. Coleman, Mayor

Columbus Recreation and Parks is proud to bring you the 2011 Jazz & Rib Fest. It’s a quality event that helps improve the quality of life in Columbus year after year.

But, it’s also what we do day after day that enhances our citizens’ health and happiness in fun, recreational ways. It’s what we are all about. Whether it’s coordinating special events such as the Jazz & Rib Fest, creating recreation center programs and summer camps, offering trails for hiking and biking, maintaining parks for leisurely strolls, trimming trees, directing outdoor education, giving golf and swim lessons, or providing activities for those 50 and older, it is all part of our mission to enrich the lives of our citizens.

So, join the fun day after day and year after year…..you’ll be glad you did.
