The Fitch Law Firm is pleased to announce that we’ll be attending this year’s Columbus Jazz & Rib Festival. We have a deep appreciation for our community connections, and we’re excited to be taking part in one of our city’s most highly anticipated summer traditions. We hope you’ll join us at the Scioto Mile to experience a wonderful selection of incredible music and delicious food.
About the Jazz & Rib Festival
The Columbus Jazz & Rib Fest is a free event that does not require tickets to see the performers. Take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy a weekend of vibrant music and fantastic food along the Scioto Riverfront.
This year, the festival will take place on the following dates and times:
Friday, July 18
11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Saturday, July 19
11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Sunday, July 20
11 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Though the festival now enjoys the status of being Columbus’ largest free outdoor music festival, it got its footing in the late 1970s as a smaller series of art and music exhibitions sprinkled throughout various Columbus parks and facilities. At the time, it was a jazz-focused festival that functioned independently of the local Rib Festival held at the same time of year, and it wasn’t until 1990 that the two would combine to create the festival we have today.
The festivities have grown to include 20 top-tier barbecue vendors and 30 bands performing across four different stages this year. Over 200,000 attendees will gather to appreciate music genres like smooth jazz, soulful gospel, and Latin-inspired funk.
Some of this year’s headliners include:
- Legendary R&B and gospel artist Mavis Staples
- Contemporary saxophonist Boney James
- Critically acclaimed jazz and soul singer Lizz Wright
- Grammy-nominated R&B singer Kenny Lattimore

Get to Know John Fitch
For more than three decades, the firm has served the injured with the same principles of community and compassion that John Fitch first ingrained in himself while growing up in the foothills of Appalachian Ohio. There, in a small rural area north of Portsmouth, he took cue from people who were humble, hard-working, and willing to help one another in difficult times — all qualities that Mr. Fitch has since instilled into the philosophy of The Fitch law firm.
John Fitch is a very experienced Ohio personal injury lawyer who has proudly served his community for decades. He first came to Columbus during his undergraduate career at The Ohio State University and has called it his home ever since. It is here, in central Ohio, that he would go on to open his firm, fight for the rights of the injured, and later secure a jury verdict of $134 million in November of 2019, accomplishing what is believed to be one of the largest personal injury verdicts in Ohio’s history.
What John Fitch has built is a firm that strives to be there for their clients. Not only because it’s their job, but because it’s their passion.
