Free Play

Join us Downtown for a lively and fun-filled experience at the Commons from May through September, every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 am to 4 pm (weather permitting). Enjoy free activities like spinning on the Carousel, playing under the parachute, building with big blue blocks at the Imagination Playground, and kicking a soccer ball. Treat yourself to delicious offerings from Tortilla Street Food Café and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, and discover a book from our Little Free Library. On Thursdays, the festivities continue with the Downtown Columbus Farmers Market, where you can shop for fresh produce and local goods while enjoying a variety of food trucks at the Food Truck Food Court. Don’t miss live music, engaging activities, and the opportunity to order ahead for a seamless experience. Bring your friends, family, and pets for an unforgettable afternoon at the heart of Columbus!
