Fall for the Arts

Fall for the Arts Schedule is Here!

Last Updated 8/6/2026


Planning your day at Fall for the Arts just got easier!

We're excited to release the updated festival schedule, making it simple to see which musicians, performers, and visual artists will be at each downtown venue throughout the day.

As you plan your visit, here's one important thing to know:

🎨 Visual artists will have their work on display from 11 a.m. until each business closes, giving you plenty of time to browse, visit with the artists, and shop throughout the day.

🎶 Live performers, however, will only be performing during the specific time listed on the schedule. If there's a particular musician, theater performance, or entertainer you don't want to miss, be sure to arrive during their scheduled performance time.

🎤 Community Open Mic! If you've ever wanted to perform in front of a live audience, now's your chance. We're inviting local performers to share their talents—whether it's music, poetry, comedy, storytelling, dance, or another creative performance. With limited performance slots available, be sure to sign up early if you'd like to be part of the festival.

With art, live music, theater, shopping, dining, and family-friendly activities happening throughout the Trackside District, there's something to discover around every corner.

Take a look at the schedule, map out your stops, and make plans to spend the day exploring Downtown Columbus during Fall for the Arts on Saturday, September 19, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

We can't wait to see you downtown!
