For an experience that’s equal parts urban flair and natural splendor, head to the RiverSouth District. Both a central business and entertainment district, RiverSouth boasts an array of annual festivals, free programming, restaurants and cafes close to the river.
RiverSouth includes the Scioto Mile’s tranquil green spaces and bike/pedestrian pathways, the open-air Columbus Commons park and event venue, and historic theatres including the Ohio Theatre and Riffe Center (plus the attached Riffe Gallery).
The colorful area, which seamlessly blends the best city life with the natural world, is a daily offering of beautiful scenery and riverfront views, excellent restaurants and bars, and eye-catching modern and time-honored architecture.
In the summer months, RiverSouth is also where you’ll find weekly outdoor events including Food Truck Food Court, free fitness and family fun, as well as a diverse lineup of annual celebrations and festivals that draw performers, artists, and visitors from around the globe.
Stay tuned for the rollout of free programming at the Scioto Mile and Columbus Commons for 2024.
