The Uptown Beer and Wine Festival has run for more than a decade as Uptown Columbus's annual fundraiser, offering craft beer, wine, and canned cocktail tastings alongside live music and food from local vendors. Proceeds help fund Uptown Columbus's free public events held throughout the rest of the year.
Its official downtown organizer identity and regional food/drink focus make it a useful row.
The festival functions less as a standalone attraction than as a direct funding mechanism for Uptown Columbus's broader calendar: money raised from ticket sales underwrites many of the organization's free community events for the rest of the year, making a beer and wine tasting festival the financial engine behind other, unrelated public programming
Held in Uptown Columbus at venues including the Rankin Courtyard and the 14th Street Pedestrian Bridge, the event has run for over eleven years as of recent editions
Directing proceeds toward funding Uptown Columbus's free year-round community events has remained the festival's consistent underlying purpose since its early editions
Rotating among Uptown venues
including the Rankin Courtyard and the 14th Street Pedestrian Bridge
