Stay close to the wide selection of summer festivals while living at The Lodge
Downtown Columbus, Georgia on the banks of the Chattahoochee River
The summer weather ushers in a season of outdoor festivals that take place just minutes from The Lodge’s future senior living campus here in Columbus, Georgia.
Many festival activities are centered around a key attraction here in Columbus: the Chattahoochee River that runs along the city’s 15-mile RiverWalk, where people stroll along the banks while taking in waterside views.
Here’s a look at some of the outdoor festivals in Columbus, Georgia.
RiverFest
Among the most well-known festivals here is RiverFest, which brings families to the RushSouth Whitewater Park, the Splash Pad, and the Blue Heron ZipLine which takes riders on a fast-paced flight over the river (and between two states).

The Uptown Beer and Wine Festival organizers transform the 14th Street Pedestrian Bridge into a “beer and wine garden.” In addition to the chance to sample a variety of craft beers and wines, there’s also live music and food vendors who set up shop in Columbus’s historic Uptown during the event.
As summer fades into fall, community members gather by the river for RushSouth Fest, where musical notes and nature meet during a two-day event featuring rock, country, folk, the blues and water sports. Hundreds of athletes from around the globe come to the Chattahoochee River to compete in freestyle kayaking championships during the event, which also features triathlons and 5K runs.
Beyond Columbus, Georgia

Less than an hour away is Auburn, Alabama, where the warm weather fun continues after the sun goes down during the SummerNight Downtown Art Walk. Businesses and restaurants in the heart of Auburn remain open past their normal closing time to welcome visitors through their doors.
The Lodge’s future community is also about an hour away from June’s Lavender and Lilies Harvest Festival, where you can take in the sights and sweet smells of lavender flowers in bloom at Wild Daisy Farms in Molena, Georgia.
