Aug 29 Saturday
Step into Bob Ross Watch Night, a cozy open‑house evening designed for anyone who wants to unwind, get creative, and enjoy a laid‑back night with our community. You’re welcome to paint a little, sip a little, laugh with friends, play a few easy games, and relax while classic Bob Ross episodes play in the background.
The atmosphere is calm, playful, and pressure‑free — a space where you can settle in, try something new, and enjoy good company at your own pace. Whether you pick up a paintbrush or simply hang out and watch the happy little trees appear on screen, the night is all about relaxing and having fun.
Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and enjoy a gentle, creative Saturday night with us.

The Conservatory Farmers Market begins June 3-September 16, 2026 on Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30pm.
Vendors offer a mix of local produce, baked goods, specialty foods, handmade items, and health & beauty products. EBT is accepted for all qualifying purchases and incentive dollars through the Produce Perks Columbus program for fresh produce are offered for all EBT participants.
Kids can also participate in VEGGIE CHAMPS, a weekly activity that rewards kids with Veggie Bucks to spend at the market.
Markets will occur if it rains but will be canceled in the case of dangerous weather: high winds, lightning, or extreme heat.
