FREE Wanderlights

Wanderlights transforms downtown Columbus into a glowing holiday wonderland with over half a million lights spread across Columbus Commons, West Town Street, and Bicentennial Park. This free event invites families to stroll through the colorful displays and soak in the festive atmosphere without the usual holiday shopping stress. It's a great way to experience seasonal magic in the heart of the city. For an extra-festive experience, Wanderlights offers special "Wander Nights" on Friday and Saturday evenings from December 4–19, when the atmosphere kicks up a notch. Since the event is completely free and open to families, it's an accessible way to enjoy the season together. Downtown parking is available nearby to make your visit convenient.
