Gnarbeque Music and Arts Festival

668 Grandview Avenue
Columbus, OH 43215

A collective including musicians, artists, DJs, and a radio station from the Columbus, OH-area has been in works over the past four years organizing an annual hometown festival of their own. What started as a party in a basement is now becoming a multi-genre community festival, thrown by the artists and neighbors involved in this event.

This event is known locally as the Gnarbeque (kind of like a barbeque, but a little more “gnarly”). It's the capital city's favorite DIY music festival, and you're invited. This year's line up features GBQ veterans, as well as new musical acts, art + craft vendors, game competitions, fire/flow arts, a weekend long comedy experience, interactive art installations, live painting, food vendors, games, prizes, giveaways, and much more. This will be the biggest, celebration we have put on yet. We extend our thanks to Woodlands Backyard and Woodlands Productions for hosting!
