Feb. 28, 2026 at 3:47pm

Downtown Columbus organizers are expanding their successful indoor winter market concept to include a spring version, with three markets scheduled for March 28, April 11, and April 25 on Fourth Street between Washington and Jackson streets. The markets will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and feature locally produced goods, continuing the community-building and shopping opportunities that residents have enjoyed.

Why it matters

The spring markets build on the momentum of the popular indoor winter markets, which grew out of resident feedback during the recent downtown plan update. The markets provide a year-round opportunity for the community to gather, support local producers, and enjoy the vibrant downtown area.

The details

The indoor winter market concept was developed in response to resident feedback during the recent downtown plan update, where people said they enjoyed the chance to meet neighbors and purchase locally made goods at the summer downtown farmers' markets. The final winter market was held last Saturday, and the success has now led to the addition of three spring market dates on Fourth Street.

  • The spring markets will be held on March 28, April 11, and April 25.
  • The markets will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
