Uptown Walking Events
An Uptown stroll is half the fun!
There’s always something happening Uptown!
Join us for some of our smaller, more intimate events
In addition to Uptown Westerville Inc.’s big weekly, monthly and annual events, we stage several smaller activities throughout the year.
Staged in cooperation with Good Medicine Productions, these smaller-setting, more intimate events aim to share Uptown’s history, involve residents and keep the fun flowing in our historic Uptown Commercial District.
Most of these events are walking tours. Those with limited space require a paid ticket to participate — so we can afford the Good Medicine Production entertainers who help us stage them. We feel they are well worth the nominal fees charged.
If you’ve not yet checked out our Walking Tours, please mark your calendars and do so in the coming year. We love to share stories about Uptown and your involvement will help to keep our great town center vibrant!
