#GoAllOut with These Top Upcoming Events in Columbus, Georgia!

This time of year, the Columbus Community Calendar is JAM PACKED with things to do when you #VisitColumbusGA. Make plans to come #GoAllOut with us at some (or all!) of these wonderful events.

The Columbus Museum owns more than 250 photographs from the archives of the Ledger-Enquirer spanning from the 1940s to the 1990s. This exhibition, hosted by The Do Good Fund, highlights these and other stories told through the faces and places of the Chattahoochee Valley, as captured by Ledger-Enquirer photographers.

Runs through June 17. Learn more here. 

 

Last summer’s smash-hit exhibition CLOTHES STORY is returning to the Columbus Public Library with favorite items from 2022 along with new icons (and their fashion) celebrating the history and stories of African-American Women from 1890 through the 1970s.

This dynamic free event – a part of our citywide Juneteenth Celebration – can be seen at the Columbus Public Library  Reading Room, located on the second floor.

Motown is myth, magic, and music. The record label changed the history of the recording industry with songs known and loved around the world. With more than 25 number-one hits and countless awards, it’s the only recording label to have a “sound” of its own. The “Men of Motown” celebrates that soulful sound by paying tribute to the tunes that continue to influence artists today. The hits of legends like Smokey Robinson (“Tracks of My Tears,” “I Second that Emotion,”) Stevie Wonder (“Superstition,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,”), Marvin Gaye (“What’s Going On?” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine,”), and The Temptations (“My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,”) are just a few examples of songs everyone recognizes and most know the words. More concert than musical, this production is sure to become one of the most talked about performances to come to the stage.
