What? Music and Arts Festival


What? Music and Arts Festival returns for its second year on July 27, 2019.

Attendees are invited to experience big festival ambiance in the close-knit Franklinton community. Festival goers can take gallery tours of 150+ artists’ work, listen to local and national musical acts on two stages, and immerse themselves in interactive experiences that encourage play, thought and wonderment—sparking a full day and night of curiosity and creativity.

As the new center for Columbus’ maker culture and independent art scene, Franklinton is experiencing a renaissance and events like What? Music and Arts Festival are bringing art and music to the forefront. The festival will be held at 400 West Rich, a dynamic, multi-functional arts complex—a place for the creative class to meet, network, collaborate, brainstorm and do what they do best—create.

Our multi-generational, multi-cultural attendees create a palpable synergy that defines the festival’s vibe. Ultimately, the connection, creation, and collaboration among festival goers makes the event what it is.
