Boyz II Men to headline Obetz Zucchini Fest this weekend

They were a staple at all your roller rink birthday parties, and now they’ll be headlining one of central Ohio’s most popular summer festivals. That’s right, 90s R&B superstars Boyz II Men will be giving a free performance at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Obetz Zucchinifest at Fortress Obetz, 2050 Recreation Trail. 

The trio is just one band in a list of performers, which includes Great White, North to Nashville, and Roots ‘N’ Boots, among others. In addition to music, entertainment will include the Cincinnati Circus Company, which will perform from noon to 5 p.m. Monday, and New Ohio Wrestling, which will perform from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday.

While the festival offers an impressive slate of music and entertainment, the traditional draw is always the zucchini. This year, visitors can try deep-fried zucchini sticks, smoked zucchini with onions and herbs, zucchini ribbon fries, zucchini parmesan fries, deep-fried zucchini brownies, zucchini funnel cake, and much more. 

The Obetz Zucchinifest will be held from 5 to 11 p.m. Friday, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and from noon to 6 p.m. Monday.
