NORTHLAND UNITY FESTIVAL 2026

A homecoming at the North YMCA

This year we brought the festival home to the North YMCA, and 52 local vendors, food trucks and mobile units joined us for an afternoon of live music, family fun and neighbors meeting neighbors. Kids bounced and got their faces painted, families shopped from small businesses across the area, and DJ Paul Moore kept the stage going from start to finish.

THANK YOU

It took a neighborhood

Thank you to the YMCA of Central Ohio and the North YMCA team for hosting us, and to every vendor and performer who shared their talents. Our volunteers made the day possible, including students from Northland High School, the Quachey family of the Felix S. Quachey Jr. Agency, YMCA staff and board members, and neighbors who simply showed up to help.

Thank you to our 2026 sponsors

LOOKING AHEAD

See you at the 10th annual Unity Festival
