Get ready to experience the strange and spectacular at High Spirits Art + Music Festival —an immersive Halloween-themed festival celebrating the best in alternative music, art, and culture. 

Born in Columbus, OH, and fueled by freedom of expression, this one-of-a-kind event brings together a highly curated lineup of rock, metal, punk, and progressive acts with unforgettable performances, creepy-cool art installations, interactive activations, and a community that thrives on creativity.

In Columbus, many events tend to follow a similar template, often featuring the same lineup of familiar artists. This approach limits opportunities for emerging and equally talented local bands who are eager for the chance to perform. The High Spirits Art + Music Festival was created to change this, offering a carefully curated lineup that highlights a mix of local and regional talent, as well as larger national acts. This blend increases visibility for artists who are often overlooked, particularly those in genres like heavier rock, metal, and other less mainstream styles that deserve the same recognition and celebration as more widely accepted genres. High Spirits strives to create a festival experience that not only supports diversity in music but also celebrates the beauty in all forms of expression.

High Spirits Art + Music Festival is organized and managed by Dirty Work Entertainment.
