About
Every Wednesday evening from spring through fall, Columbus Wednesdays brings people together for a one-of-a-kind community experience.
Share a meal, discover local talent, and connect with others during an evening centered around creativity and community. Each week features a new curated lineup of local musicians, storytellers, comedians, poets, dancers, and other performers, creating a fresh experience every Wednesday.
