The spring Hookahville happens over Memorial Day weekend, and in fall, over Labor Day weekend. Hookahville has performances from many bands and is headlined by əkoostik hookah. The band has made multiple national tours in the US,[1] as well as performing in overseas locales like Amsterdam and Jamaica,[2] although they may more commonly be found playing local Columbus, Ohio venues like Newport Music Hall, and Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.
