And for $35 dollars, one can purchase an After Party Badge - granting them access to exclusive performances in exclusive FMMF venues, keeping the party going after the lights go out on the main festival grounds.

Local business owners are excited to have something as monumental coming to town for Labor Day Weekend. Ed Hastie, co-owner of Park Street says, "The Park Street Complex is excited to partner with FMMF for their After Party Events. Columbus is primed to have its own identity in the national music scene and we are proud to be partnering with the festival to help this city-wide event succeed well into the future.”
In addition to music and fashion, Nationwide Boulevard from High Street to Neil Avenue will be transformed into a streetscape of various cuisine and beverage selections; complete with gourmet food trucks, aerial zip lines, and one of North America’s largest Gondolas, towering 100 feet tall.
Created by music and fashion insiders, FMMF hopes to help brand Columbus as the Midwest’s music and retail fashion leader, much like Austin has been crowned an emerging music mecca and showcase for new talent development, due to its 27 year run with their popular SXSW Festival.
