The 12th Annual Merion Village Festival is here, and there are even more ways to join in on the fun including our annual Silent Auction and 50/50 Raffle!


Our Silent Auction features more than 20 fantastic baskets, each filled with goodies, gift cards, experiences, and other treasures from businesses and organizations around Columbus. We’re incredibly grateful to the generous donors who contributed to this year’s auction and helped make it possible.


Whether you’re looking for something fun for yourself, a gift for someone else, or just want to try your luck, there’s plenty to check out!


And don’t forget about the 50/50 Raffle, where one lucky winner will take home half of the raffle proceeds.


Your Support Makes the Festival PossibleThe Silent Auction and 50/50 Raffle aren't just about winning great prizes. The proceeds help support the Merion Village Association and the Merion Village Festival each year.


As a 100% volunteer-run organization, community support is what allows us to continue putting on events like the festival and supporting activities and programs throughout Merion Village.


We're so thankful to everyone who donates auction items, purchases raffle tickets, places bids, and supports the MVA throughout the year. Every contribution helps!

You can browse the auction, place your bids, and purchase 50/50 raffle tickets here.

The 2026 Merion Village Festival is just a week away, and we need LOTS of volunteers to help make our biggest event of the year a success!

The Festival is completely volunteer-powered, and there are still many shifts to fill. Whether you can spend a few hours helping with setup and teardown, give vendors a quick break during the day, help cover a sales booth, or pitch in wherever you’re needed, every volunteer makes a difference.

And you don't have to do it alone! Grab a friend, bring a family member, or ask a neighbor to sign up with you. Students are welcome, too, and we're happy to provide signed letters certifying volunteer hours for those who need them.

We appreciate the time and energy our volunteers give to the Festival, and we want to say thank you!

Volunteers can choose either:

• A classic Merion Village Festival tank top or t-shirt
• For volunteers age 21+: a Festival mug and a drink token

Once you register, we'll be in touch with additional information as the Festival gets closer.

The Festival takes a lot of people working together behind the scenes to make the day happen. With the event just over a week away, this is our final big push for volunteers, and we really need you!

Whether you've volunteered before or this would be your first time, we'd love to have you on the team.

Let's make the 2026 Merion Village Festival one to remember!
