Columbus Ohio 2014 Festival Schedule

Columbus Art Festival

If there’s thing that we really do well in Columbus Ohio, it’s the festivals that run from spring to mid autumn. At the link, thanks to Columbus Underground and specifically Anne Evans, is a complete, well researched directory to all of the events. I’ll link directly to some of them, but for the full list, give the link to Columbus Underground a try.

As we redevelop downtown with new multiunit residential, both condos and apartments plus Columbus commercial real estate for sale and lease, I think we’ll see these festivals get better and better. With the huge increase in residential in the Columbus central business district, Columbus net leased retail will follow, from major grocery to boutique retail. Many of the festivals will be right outside your front door for Columbus downtown residents so get out and enjoy.
