Columbus’s East Side comes alive on Friday, June 13 with the inaugural 1313 Festival - a free all-day celebration of local culture, food, art, and community. From 11AM to 7PM, explore 20 local vendor booths and 8 food trucks featuring some of Columbus’s best small businesses. Shop handmade apparel, original art prints, scented candles, beauty and wellness products, and more. Grab a plate from soul food, New Orleans, Hawaiian BBQ, desserts, and flavored lemonades - all from Columbus-area makers and entrepreneurs. A live DJ keeps the energy going throughout the day. At 7PM, the festival shifts into its evening showcase: the Exhibit of Expression, a live poetry and art competition pairing Columbus poets and visual artists on stage to compete for prizes in front of a live audience. If you’re a poet or artist looking for a stage, registration is open now at cbusevents.com for $10 per individual. Whether you’re coming to shop, eat, create, or compete - the 1313 Festival is built for Columbus, by Columbus. Free admission. All ages welcome. Presented by CBUS Events LLC | cbusevents.com
