(Columbus) Comfest 2024

The Community Festival is an independent, volunteer-organized celebration of creativity and activism in Columbus, OH. Founded in 1972, its purpose is to build bridges between progressive non-profit organizations, artists, and volunteers to raise awareness and promote action within our community. Everything we do is guided by our principles which promote community unity, tolerance, and equity.

We will strive to realize this mission through the fulfillment of the following Organizational Goals:

• Building community bridges and nurturing collaboration through safe, peaceful, sustainable practices
• Initiating opportunities for community involvement and activism including information and workshops at the festival, non-profit networking and communication
• Promoting a more unified, tolerant, and equitable community
• Showcasing and celebrating Columbus and Central Ohio artists, craftspeople, musicians, activists and community organizations
