Cinco D'Ohio
Date: Sat, May 3, 2008
Location: The North Market
Hours: 8a.m.- 4p.m.
Admission: Free
The North Market presents a unique angle to the customary festivities of Cinco de Mayo on Saturday, May 3rd with the Cinco D’Ohio Festival. The traditional Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican militia’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. CINCO D’OHIO exalts the exceptional array of culinary commodities available from in-state producers. During the event at the North Market on May 3rd Ohio Proud vendors and their products will be flaunted in an atmosphere with fiesta flair.
Cinco D’Ohio will be the first outdoor festival of the season at the North Market. The farmers’ market will officially open and Ohio Proud vendors will join our farmers in the plaza selling Ohio-made foodstuffs. The Market is known for its festival culinary contests and Cinco D’Ohio will have three: Salsa, Hot Sauce and the Chef Taco Taste-Off! The Amateur Salsa Contest will earn the first place winner $50 in North Market gift certificates and the runner-up $25 in gift certificates. The Amateur Hot Sauce Contest winner will be rewarded with $50 in North Market gift certificates and the runner-up $25 in gift certificates. In the expert category, local Chefs can demonstrate their taco-constructing skills in the Chef Taco Taste-Off. The victorious chef will garner a special trophy and $100 in North Market gift certificates. Robin Davis will be competing in her own Dispatch Kitchen (does she have the home-chef advantage?) along with John Dornback of Basi Italia and Matt Langstaff of Bexley’s Monk.
For the kids there will be all kinds of amusement including face painters, a fun show and piñatas to burst and scramble for prizes!

Short North Gallery Hop
Dates: May 3
Location: Short North Arts District
Hours: Saturday 4-10 p.m.
Admission: Free
With more than 20 years of tradition, the Short North is renowned for the excitement of its Gallery Hops. The first Saturday of every month, thousands of visitors come to celebrate art and partake in an evening of fabulous sights, dynamic sounds, great food, unparalleled shopping, and cosmopolitan fun. Though many shops are open earlier, the Gallery Hop officially starts at 4 p.m. and runs to 10 p.m. with restaurants and bars staying open considerably later. On a typical Hop, more than 40 galleries and non-traditional art venues (restaurants, boutiques, and personal service shops) spotlight the best of established and emerging Ohio-based artists. They also feature the works of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. On the streets, performers settle into the many nooks of the District to entertain the throngs of Short North fans. Saxophonists, singers, improvisational dance troupes, even stilt walkers and stage characters add to the unforgettable experience.
