Sunday Markets and Broadway Magic: What’s On in Columbus Today
Morning Freshness: Grandview Heights Indoor Market
Start your Sunday with a visit to the Grandview Heights Farmers’ Market. While the summer sun is months away, the community's grassroots effort continues indoors for the winter season. Today, January 25, the market is held inside Larson Middle School from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with local neighbors and support regional producers. Visitors can expect a variety of locally sourced food, artisanal crafts, and seasonal items. Please note that while the summer market is pet-friendly, the indoor winter sessions have a strict no-pet policy inside the school building.
Matinee Highlights: Broadway at the Garden Theater
For theater enthusiasts, the Short North Stage is hosting the critically acclaimed musical "Come From Away" at the Garden Theater. This Tony-winning production tells the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them in the wake of 9/11. Known for its soaring melodies and heart-warming message of human resilience, the play is a staple of the Columbus theater scene this month. Check the box office for afternoon matinee availability as this run continues through mid-February.
Art and Community Meetups
If you are looking for a more relaxed afternoon, the Columbus Museum of Art is a central hub for culture today. Beyond the permanent galleries, the museum serves as the backdrop for the ongoing Arts Scholars Juried Exhibition 2026. This exhibition showcases diverse works from Ohio State University students, spanning various disciplines and creative media. Additionally, language lovers can head over to Worthington for a community meetup. The Columbus French Language Meetup Group is hosting a conversation session at La Chatelaine starting at 2:30 PM, welcoming all skill levels for coffee and informal practice.
Evening Melodies: Tributes and Candlelight
As the sun sets, the city’s music venues come alive. Natalie’s Grandview features a double-header of soul and rock tributes. At 7:00 PM, the venue hosts "Heatwave," a live tribute to the legendary music of Linda Ronstadt, followed by "Harpoetic: Soul Sunday" at 8:00 PM, featuring a blend of jazz, blues, and R&B. For a more atmospheric experience, the Columbus Museum of Art hosts a Candlelight Concert tonight at 8:45 PM. A string quartet will perform a tribute to Coldplay and Imagine Dragons, illuminated by thousands of LED candles for a unique pop-rock experience.
