I enjoyed the live art and demonstrations. Scribble was a mini festival where artists create murals live.

My Take on the Columbus Arts Festival 2023:

Be prepared to walk, as the festival was most of the riverfront (the Scioto mile, COSI, both Main Street and Rich Street Bridges, all the way to 400 W Rich Street, etc). Plenty to see and do. I was glad I attended to get to connect with a few artists, walk, and get some fresh air.
