The 2024 Columbus Arts Festival, scheduled for June 7-9 along the downtown riverfront, will include dozens of interactive activities beyond its visual art exhibitions. The festival is presented by the American Electric Power Foundation and produced by the Greater Columbus Arts Council.

The Kids Hands-On Activities Village, presented by Battelle, will be located on Dorrian Green west of COSI and staffed by volunteers from 25 local organizations. New this year, an adult and teen programming area will offer paid workshops. The festival will also include a Children’s and Teens’ Art Gallery where young attendees can purchase affordable artwork.

The Big Local Arts Village at the Franklinton entrance will feature local artists demonstrating crafts and selling their work. The festival runs Friday through Sunday with free general admission.
