The Bean Dinner at Westgate Park is more than just a meal—it’s a celebration of the people, traditions, and community spirit that make Columbus’s West Side special. For generations, neighbors, families, and visitors have gathered to share good food, enjoy local entertainment, and spend time together in one of the city’s most beloved parks. Meet at the Civil War Camp Chase site within Westgate Park.
Bring your friends and family and enjoy a day of music, local vendors, and family-friendly fun. Whether you’ve attended for years or are joining us for the first time, you’ll find a welcoming community and a tradition that continues to bring the West Side together.
