Jim Obergefell and his late husband, John Arthur, are at the forefront of our fight for national marriage equality. As a married couple, it was their struggle to get Jim’s name as a “surviving spouse” on John’s death certificate that catapulted marriage equality [Obergefell v. Hodges] straight to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Juneteenth, or June 19th, 1865, is considered the date when the last captives in America were freed. Although the rumors of freedom were widespread before this, actual emancipation did not come until General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and issued General Order No. 3, on June 19th, 1865, almost two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Kicking off the summer festival season once again in 2015, the Park Street Festival has grown in size and scale since we started it eight years ago and, today, it is the premier summer kick-off party in Columbus. Each year we do our best to make this two-day event something special. It’s our way of saying “Thank You” to our city and community that supports us.
