For 50 years, Columbus Winterfair has been a celebration of creativity, community and holiday traditions and this year marks an exciting new chapter! We are proud to unveil a refreshed logo that honors our rich history while embracing a vibrant, modern look for the future. As we share this new identity with our members and visitors for the first time, it reflects the same spirit of artistry and connection that has defined our festival for five decades, reimagined for the next generation of makers and art lovers.
