Franklinton Night Market open street community event

Gather in the streets of Franklinton once a month for the Franklinton Night Market.

Franklinton is historic district that has been revitalized into a vibrant arts community just across the river from Downtown Columbus. Founded in 1797, it was the first settlement in Central Ohio, and the location of the original county seat of Franklin County.
