Location: Mayme Moore Park, 867 Mt. Vernon Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43203.

Sidebar:  Give yourself extra time to FIND a parking spot. This festival features food trucks that are parked in the park parking lot. I was able to find a spot; but, I had to circle around a few times. That took a little longer to accomplish with participants talking and hugging in the middle of the street.

This is the 24^th Annual festival. The festival features live music for several consecutive Thursdays. The schedule is posted on kingartscomplex.com. This year, the festival is being held until August 18, 2022.

Why do you attend the festival?

Anonymous, “I enjoy interacting with the beautiful black people in the City.”

My Take on the Heritage Music Festival:

I love the chill atmosphere and the event is free. If you want to relax and listen to live music this just might be the festival for you.
