Community Festival

June 26-28, 2026

Program

Purpose

The ComFest Program Committee produces the Program Guide which is distributed free to ComFest attendees each year. The Program Guide is filled with vital information about the Statement of Principles of ComFest and Rules to make ComFest enjoyable and respectful for all who attend. Each year we write articles about some of the special volunteers who tirelessly work to create three days of our celebration with a purpose.

The Program Guide has entertainment and workshop schedules as well as feature articles about some of the performers and workshop presenters. The Program Guide is filled with photos from the previous year's festival that try to capture the spirit of ComFest and the volunteers who make it all happen.

The Program Committee is an all volunteer publishing powerhouse. The committee pulls together advertising, writers, photographers, editors, and layout wizards that turn scattered ideas and notes into a 64 page publication that we are all proud of. The Program Guide is a treasured collectible commemorative of each year's ComFest. The shelf life of the Program Guide is much longer than the three days of ComFest.

Distribution of the Program Guide at ComFest is another task that this committee needs help with. Distribution points include the ComFest Booth, Beer Booths and the barricade locations around the perimeter of Goodale Park.

Get Involved - The ComFest Program Committee Wants You!

If you enjoy tracking down advertisers for updated and new ads, writing, editing copy, photo editing, layout and meeting  a publishing deadline, the ComFest Program Committee would be a good place to put your talents to work. As we work towards our finished publication we do tend to put in some long hours but we always sit back and admire the completed Program Guide.

If you are ready to let that frustrated journalist inside you go to work for the ComFest Program Guide contact: program@comfest.com

Happy ComFest!

Welcome to Community Festival 2026! For 54 years, ComFest has been the progressive heartbeat of Columbus and central Ohio.

ComFest is a free event, powered by Community and sustained without corporate sponsors. Featuring the very best local music, progressive political activism and community organizing, local artisans and craftspeople and your favorite summer foods, ComFest brings the community together.

ComFest has nurtured the Columbus arts and entertainment scene, nourished small businesses, energized generations of community activists, and positioned progressive ideals front and center in our growing city.

The costs to put on this extraordinary event increase every year. Whether its permits, safety and security, trash and recycling supplies, stages and sound equipment, libations or any number of expenses, the costs of putting on this free and all volunteer weekend continue to outrun the revenues.

We’d like to take a moment to ask you to consider supporting ComFest financially. Now more than ever, this unique and vital event must be here for the next generation of ComFesters and your support can ensure the legacy begun 54 years ago lives on.

Thank you for being here: For volunteering, for supporting local music, for purchasing ComFest beverages, for shopping at Street Fair, and for signing up to protect the principles and values we all stand and fight for.

Have a great ComFest.
