Come celebrate peace and social justice at Comfest, arguably the largest free, non-corporate urban music and arts festival in the US.
Where: Goodale Park, Columbus, Ohio
When: June 23 (12pm) – June 25th (10pm)
ComFest is a lot more than a huge, free music and arts festival. It is, among many other things, the largest platform for peace and social justice organizing in Ohio. It’s an intricate and expansive exercise in self-governance. It’s the premier competitive showcase for local musicians and artists. It’s a family reunion for generations of current and former Columbusites. It’s a liberated zone where social relations and politics and sexuality and art proceed at levels entirely different than corporate-sponsored festivals.
It’s everybody’s best effort to live authentically, with trust in others, for at least three days.
And it’s also now an engine for growth: this year ComFest implemented a new grant making process to return some of the proceeds from the festival to organizations that do real community-building in the neighborhoods of our hometown.
It’s a Party with a Purpose.
