An Evening with
Green Columbus

Walk the Green Carpet.

An Evening with Green Columbus is a celebration for tree lovers, community builders, sustainability enthusiasts, and anyone who believes a greener Columbus is possible.

This first-of-its-kind event brings together people who care about trees, neighborhoods, and the future of our city. Come as you are, bring a friend, and get ready to geek out about trees with people who get it.

We're celebrating what's been growing and raising $25,000 for more tree plantings. Because if Columbus needs more shade, more beauty, and more green spaces, we might as well have a good time making it happen.

The evening will feature live music, a Green Carpet step-and-repeat photo moment, networking, vegetarian bites, drink tickets, and a native tree auction. We'll also hear from special speakers and local green heroes helping shape the future of Columbus' urban forest.

Columbus has a lot of growing to do. Right now, our tree canopy covers about 22% of the city, and we know that number looks and feels very different depending on the neighborhood. Some streets have shade, birdsong, and tree-lined sidewalks. Others are still waiting for the comfort and protection trees bring.

That's why this night matters. Reserve your ticket, bring a friend, and walk the Green Carpet with us.

Tree hugging encouraged. Obviously.
