2019 Ohio Arnold Sports Festival Details + Arnold Carving

Planning your Arnold events for next year? Good! We just got the official announcement for next year's Arnold Sports Festival:

Mark your calendars for the 2019 Arnold Sports Festival, February 28-March 3, when we’ll celebrate our 31st anniversary with a record 80 sports and events!

The Arnold Sports Festival will attract an estimated 200,000 sports and fitness fans to watch more than 22,000 athletes compete in 80 sports and events, including 16 Olympic events, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in downtown Columbus, the Ohio Expo Center and various other Central Ohio venues.

The new events for 2019 include Foosball, Futsal and the Viking Run.

Daily admission to the EXPO is still just $20, but a new Fast-Pass Ticket ($30 in advance only) provides one-hour early access to the Arnold Fitness EXPO (8:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday). This seems well worth it if you want to see the EXPO early and avoid the massive crowds for a short time.

Of course, our must-see event is the Sunday Seminar featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger talking for an hour! Tickets are ONLY $25 to this fantastic event that sometimes includes Q&A from the audience.

Another great part of the weekend is Art at the Arnold, where artists come create and show their stuff. This year, a wood carver named James O'Neal will be at Expo booth 1551 and we have a preview of his amazing life sized Arnold, carved out of what else but Oak! It took him 6 months to create.

We look forward to seeing the Austrian Oak (both versions) in person next March!
