Columbus Events 2026–27

Columbus has fewer events on its list, but many of them run for weeks. Harvest Blooms and Pumpkins Aglow fill the fall through November 1, and the Day of the Dead Festival is October 17.

The holidays bring Wanderlights, which runs from November 20 all the way to mid-February. Shoppers can choose the Ohio Made Holiday Market, the Columbus ChristmasFair and Winterfair. The Ohio Statehouse tree lighting is December 3, and the Jingle Bell Run follows that weekend.

Dates can change, so check the event’s website before you go.
