ABOUT ALLEY ISLANDS

Alley Islands is a community street festival organized by Blockfort Gallery and Studios, presented in partnership with the Discovery District Civic Association. Located in the Discovery District of Downtown Columbus, the festival seeks to welcome people of all ages for a day of music, food, art and fun. Two stages, set under a dozen new murals, with over 20 performers, ranging from live music, comedy, circus performances and storytelling span the day. Artists, crafters, and small business artisans line the streets, capped by food trucks and local breweries. Inside, guests are welcome to visit the three gallery spaces and a variety of artist studios. The whole day is sprinkled with street performers, delicious food and drinks and visual experiences. The cost of attendance is $10 for guests. Proceeds from the event go to supporting the artists and performers and the Discovery District Civic Association.
