About this event
Wanderlights is downtown Columbus’s free winter light walk across Columbus Commons, West Town Street, and Scioto Mile Fountain, powered by AEP Ohio with more than half a million lights. Special Wander Nights on Fridays and Saturdays add hot chocolate, carousel rides, Santa, and a Nationwide Children’s Hospital partnership energy. The multi-stop layout lets you pace a free evening without a single gate. Dress for walking between the three glow zones and target a Wander Night if you want the extras.
Our take: Walk Commons first, then Scioto Mile Fountain last when the riverfront lights look best after dark.
Parking
Columbus Commons Main Garage about $10 during Wander Nights
Good to know
5pm-10pm daily; Wander Nights activities 5-8pm on select Fri/Sat in December
