Overrated! Fun place to drink with friends if you enjoy the hippie scene, but shouldn't be made a priority if you have other things to do... Cleaning the house and doing laundry is time better spent...

Ah, Comfest. I wish you weren't so expensive, but I do understand (kinda) and you are a good time... for the last three days. OMG. Comfest is sort of like my dream of what utopia is like. Yeah, yeah,...

OK people Comfest is not every-ones cup of Tea, but it is America and somewhat free country. I went again to Comfest on Saturday with a friend and got to walk around more. We got there around 11am and...

There's nothing quite like Comfest. I've been attending for the past couple of years and even though it's crowded and expensive, I just keep on going back. I think there's something there for...

When I go to Comfest, I have flashbacks to the South Park episode where all the hippies take over town during the Hippie Jam Fest... well, this isn't quite that extreme, but it has it's moments. I...

I am becoming more and more of a barefoot free spirit. So when it comes to ComFest, I feel like these are my people - mostly, besides the ones who ONLY come for the beer and the painted boobies. It's...

Love it or hate it, there's nothing quite like Comfest. A free festival of music, community, progressive political issues, and food and drink, Comfest is one of the best highlights of the Columbus...

Do you ever feel a need to buy subversive literature without the hassle of an online credit trail? Are you a fan of out-there underground comix? Need to know how to grow magic mushrooms in a pinch?...

I volunteered this year, and my only annoyance (hence minus 1 star) was for all the free-loading dbags who complained about beer prices. Pretty sure no one had to pay any sort of admission to get...

Comfest is my favorite holiday! Other reviewers have done a great job describing the laid-back, hippie, fun, eclectic vibe, but there is something indescribable about how good it can make you feel to...

Comfest is indeed where it's at. Originally started as a peace/anti-war festival back in the 60's (I think), it's now just generally awesome, though the hippie/crunchy vibe remains. Lots of small...

I was so disappointed with the "Local Flavor" category for Columbus that I had to add Comfest. This is where it's at.
