FREE Wanderlights

Wanderlights transforms Columbus Commons into a glowing holiday wonderland with over half a million twinkling lights. This free event invites families to escape the holiday rush and experience the festive atmosphere spread across Columbus Commons, West Town Street, and Bicentennial Park. It's a perfect opportunity to wander through downtown's sparkling displays without breaking the budget. Throughout the season, Wanderlights offers special evening hours, with extra-festive "Wander Nights" happening on Friday and Saturday evenings in mid-December. The area around the Commons also features cafés, restaurants, and food trucks if you'd like to grab a bite during your visit. Convenient parking is available at Columbus Commons Garages, making it easy to park and explore the illuminated displays at your own pace.
