Our annual mural festival is back on May 3rd from noon to 10pm. Save the date!

Alley Islands is a community street festival organized by Blockfort Gallery and Studios. 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, surrounded by a multitude of new murals, with over 20 performers, ranging from live music, to poetry, comedy, 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, magicians, circus performances, and visual experiences.

Presented in partnership with the Discovery District Civic Association.

Alley Islands takes place just steps away from Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus College of Art & Design, Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Hills Market Downtown and several other cultural and commercial establishments. Alley Islands aims to bring new energy and attention to the Discovery District neighborhood.
