What can you expect at the Franklinton Night Market? Attendees will enjoy a family-friendly open-air community event hosted monthly in the Franklinton neighborhood of downtown Columbus. Each night market features nearly 80 independent local vendors & food trucks selling merchandise, art, clothing, and food. Admission is free and everyone’s invited! We close down McDowell St (including W Walnut St) between W Town St and W Rich St so you can enjoy an OPEN STREET event with a pop-up beer garden, live entertainment, Ohio art, and more. Plus, many Franklinton businesses will be open late for each event, including Wild Goose Creative, BrewDog, Chromedge Studios, Land-Grant, and more! Download our 2024 Site Map
Charity Beer Tent: Our Pop-up Beer Garden for Charity, powered by BrewDog Franklinton will be an exciting feature of the Night Market. Stroll the entire event with a drink! Best of all, 100% of beer sales will be donated to Wild Goose Creative!
Parking: The Franklinton Arts District offers hundreds of free and paid parking options including ADA accessible spaces and electric charging stations. The River & Rich parking garage (260 Mc Dowell St) is only one block south of W Rich St and has several hundred parking spaces. We encourage COTA bus and rideshare options (Lyft, Uber, CoGo), and for those who are able, you can walk, bike, or carpool too!
