10 years of 614 Day: Here's what the annual celebration is bringing to Franklinton
For all those who love central Ohio, there's only one place you'll want to be on June 14 at 6:14 p.m.: the annual celebration of all things in the 614 area code.
Columbus locals can look forward to the annual celebration of 614 Day on June 14 at Land Grant-Brewing Co., 424 W. Town St.
The event, which will shut down Town Street and is expected to bring over 10,000 attendees, is a gathering of food, music and good vibes based on central Ohio's 614 area code.
Taking place in the Franklinton Arts District — also known as the city's hub for creativity — some of Columbus' best creatives, business owners, fashion designers, foodies and changemakers will come together to share their neighborhood pride.
614 Day is a free, family-friendly event, which will take place from 12 to 9 p.m. With this year being the 10-year milestone, guests can expect to experience live music, a variety of local vendors, interactive art installations and community spotlights.
"614 Day has grown organically and more people have joined in on the fun," said co-founder Yohannan Terrell.
"We will be making the 614 Day awards bigger than ever, and there will be some other surprises that we believe all attendees will appreciate."
Back in 2015, 614 Day was nothing more than a small gathering at Seventh Son Brewing Co. in Columbus' historic Italian Village. A tiny coalition of central Ohio lovers came together to share their pride in being a Columbus resident.
That coalition consisted of Chris Jones, Terrell and Malcolm White. Now, 614 Day is known citywide and backed by community partners like Experience Columbus, Columbus Crew, COSI, iHeartMedia and Land-Grant Brewing Co. to create a memorable celebration for neighbors.
"I remember bringing this idea to the radio station and a few partners of mine, and I remember thinking that the weather is perfect in June; we didn't think much of it," Terrell said. "We just love getting together and celebrating this great city."
School of Rock, Zoo Trippin', Mojoflo, Ceez, DrippDaDon, about a dozen DJs and poetry readings are among the long list of performances for the celebration.
