The Columbus Moonlight Market on Gay Street is a great Saturday night date or outing! The monthly outdoor street festival marketplace in Downtown Columbus takes place select Saturdays from April through October (some dates differ, so check schedule below), and it gets bigger every year.

Gay Street is by far one of the best locations downtown and it continues to grow with great businesses and events. The businesses will feature late hours at the regular businesses along the street, entertainment, and sidewalk vendors with everything from clothing to baked goods, and indy retailers.
The Markets run from 6-11 pm. Check out the Facebook page to see specific retailers, artisans, and musicians for that month..
