Downtown Columbus music festival returns to benefit not-for-profit groups

A two-day music festival in downtown Columbus is coming up next week to benefit several local not for profit groups.

The two-day long Hutchfest will feature bands performing on Friday April 25th at The Commons and in venues across the downtown area on Saturday.

Hutchfest, in its third year, is named in honor of local businessman Hutch Schumaker and celebrates his birthday with the fundraiser. According to Landmark Columbus Foundation, proceeds from the events will be split between the foundation, restoration efforts at The Crump and the Miller House and Garden.

The Friday performance at The Commons will be $10 with the Revelators playing from 6 to 8 p.m. and the Barnstormers from 8:30 to 10:30

There is no cover charge for Saturday night’s performances, but they are being held at 21 and older venues. Those performances will include

• 4th Street Bar & Grill: The Jackson Way,
• The Garage Pub & Grill: Downstairs Mix-up,
• The Eagles #741: Fabulous Hickbillys
• The Moose Lodge #398: Albino Catfish Band

There are also four sponsorship levels ranging from $100 to $2,500.
