150 YEAR CELEBRATION — 150 YEARS FRESHJoin us for a one-of-a-kind evening celebrating 150 years of LOCAL + FRESH + AUTHENTIC at North Market Downtown.
The 150 Year Celebration is our signature Apron Gala with a special anniversary spin - a lively, chef-driven food experience that brings the market to life after hours. Guests will stroll through the historic market, enjoying exclusive bites and sips from our best-in-class merchants, live entertainment, and the unmistakable energy that has made North Market Columbus’ gathering place for nearly 150 years.
This milestone evening is our way of saying thank you to the community that has supported North Market for 150 years and to the independent merchants whose creativity, grit, and passion continue to shape our culture every day.
