General Info
The Columbus Arts Festival has grown into one of the most highly acclaimed arts festivals in the nation!
We will be featuring over 200 visual artists, three stages of performances and dozens of food vendors. Produced by staff with the help of over 80 year-round volunteers and hundreds of weekend volunteers, the Columbus Arts Festival attracts the nation’s top artists as well as art enthusiasts from all over the country. No public money funds the Arts Festival. However, the event remains FREE as always to attend, thanks to your donations, space fees and the Festival’s many generous sponsors!

The Columbus Arts Festival is a great place for people but not for pets. Heat and crowded conditions make the Arts Festival a stressful and potentially unhealthy place for animal companions. We love pets too, and that’s why we ask that you please leave yours at home.
