Neighborhoods & Districts
As Columbus’s rich and bustling cultural center, this eclectic and hip neighborhood has earned its nickname as the city’s “art and soul.” Visitors and native Ohioans alike flock to the North Short Arts District to explore the countless art galleries and trendy shops, devour delicious food and experience the area’s unique bohemian flare. Dive into the area stomach first on a Columbus Food Adventures tour, admire the playful murals on High Street or stroll through Goodale Park, one of the oldest and most beautiful parks in the Midwest. Special events in the district include a long list of summer festivals and the Gallery Hop, an event held on the first Saturday of each month from 4 to 10 p.m. where musical performers line the streets and local artists display and sell their latest creative pieces in galleries and non-traditional venues such as restaurants, salons and boutiques.
