Between the Columbus Museum of Art (to the east) and City Hall (to the west), you’ll discover a dense mélange of lively, street-level independently owned bars, galleries, restaurants, retail shops, and cafes known as the Gay Street District.

Having experienced a renaissance and population boom during the past few decades, tree-lined Gay Street, with its turn-of-the-century architecture and full event calendar showcasing Columbus’ culture, is one of the most popular boulevards in the city. Significant investment planned for the District will continue to position it as a leading arts and culture destination that will define the Downtown core.
