The latest on Independent’s Day’s last hoo-rah

Local creatives– be they artists, musicians, singers, dancers, writers, mixologists, chefs– have brought interest, attitude, and entertainment to this city for decades. For the past nine years, Independent’s Day has given those creatives a big, beautiful, quirky platform on which to flex their skills.

As they say, don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Independent’s Day was an amazing culmination of the creative fire in our city and just because it’s ending doesn’t mean the flame has to burn out.

Let this last celebration be a jumping off point for bigger and better things for the Columbus arts Scene.

Join us in partying for the arts like there’s no tomorrow because for Independent’s Day, there isn’t.
