The Riverfront Art Festival celebrates its fifth anniversary this year! It features a picturesque setting, winding along the west bank of the Scioto Mile in downtown Columbus. The location is nearly synonymous with festival-going, in a city ranked by American Style magazine as one of the top 10 big cities for art. While the heartbeat of the festival is the amazing selection of visual artists, the location also features a waterfront amphitheater, which plays host to our most incredible musical lineup ever - including two nights of WaterFire!
The Riverfront Art Festival features over 150 local and national artists, who work in every medium from fine oil paintings and sculpture to affordable functional pottery and wearable art, and are on hand to tell you all about their work and their process. This year more than ever the Riverfront Art Festival offers something for everyone. Our entertainment schedule will keep you dancing, and you will enjoy great food along with delicious beverages while mingling with fellow art lovers along the Scioto River downtown. Admission is free, so come and spend the day, find something unique and expressive for yourself or your home, then stick around for some great entertainment, and watch the riverfront come alive with light, color, and music.
