High Spirits is produced by Dirty Work Entertainment and Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District with support from Downtown Columbus, Inc. and the City of Columbus.

High Spirits is meant for all to enjoy and take part in the music, art and entertainment. We do encourage parents and guardians to review the entertainment line-up to see what acts would be best appropriate for children as this is an alternative art and music festival.

Yes! There is no cost to come out and enjoy the event. Certain activities will require a small participation fee or donation to support the artists, creators and partners that are hosting the events. We do also hold donation-based and ticketed events throughout the year to help support High spirits.

High Spirits takes place in a DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area) which means you can visit local bars and restaurants and receive alcoholic beverages in approved DORA cups that you can carry throughout the event space. There is a DORA bar located on Pearl Street closest to the Pearl Stage.
