The Navigators

The Navigators bring a night of energetic rock music to Columbus Commons, featuring local business leaders and professionals performing classic hits spanning from the 1960s through today. Since starting in 2002, the band has made a real impact on the community, raising over half a million dollars for organizations like City Year Columbus, the Mid-Ohio Food Bank, the Salvation Army, and several others focused on local and national causes. This is a free event—no tickets needed—so families can enjoy live music without worrying about admission costs. Arrive early to grab dinner from the food trucks that set up starting at 6 p.m., with the actual performance kicking off at 7 p.m. Feel free to bring blankets or chairs to settle in comfortably. Beverages are also available for purchase on-site, making it easy to spend the whole evening downtown.
