This show debuted at Goodale Park in 2006 and has been a crowd pleaser every year. Attendance in 2009 was estimated at 20,000, in spite of citywide power outages that muted much of our television advertising campaign. This year we will be reducing hours and increasing signage by artist request, and we will work diligently to prevent future occurrences of hurricane force winds.

For 24 years The Riverfront was home to the Columbus Arts Festival, which due to construction on the East bank has relocated to a new home. Genoa Park, on the West bank was left intact, and it is an ideal location for a smaller show. Genoa park has plenty of parking, a stunning view of the city, accessible electricity, and limited entrances, which makes it easy to secure.

This show features a full entertainment schedule, including WaterFire on the Mile and other local favorites, and we expect a substantial increase in publicity and community support. We are seeking up to 150 high caliber artists for this event.
