COLUMBUS, Ga. - The weekend of November 13-15, 2026, brings a free three-day home improvement expo, the city's Veterans Day Parade, a two-day craft and vendor market and a Jules Money show to Columbus. The Columbus Home Expo will take place at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center, the parade is scheduled for Saturday morning, and Peachtree Mall will host the craft market on Saturday and Sunday. The Do Good Fund will also present a Saturday evening show, with admission listed at $15, according to the event organizers and their published schedules.

The events are spread across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with different admission arrangements and operating hours. The Home Expo is free, while the Jules Money show lists a door price and recommends advance reservations because capacity is limited. The craft market's published information contains conflicting hours, making it important to distinguish the event's listed schedule from the details that still need confirmation.

1. Columbus Home Expo Runs Friday Through Sunday With Free Admission

The free Columbus Home Expo is scheduled for Friday, November 13, through Sunday, November 15, at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center, 801 Front Avenue, Columbus, GA 31901. The event is organized by Nationwide Expos, according to its Eventbrite listing. Admission is free throughout the three-day event.

The expo's published schedule provides 18 total hours across the three days. Friday has six hours, Saturday has seven hours and Sunday has five hours, based on the organizer's listed opening and closing times. The event includes hands-on demonstrations, expert advice, live product demonstrations, show-only deals and weekend giveaways.

According to the organizer's description, the event combines demonstrations and information about home-related products and services. The listing identifies demonstrations and expert advice as features of the expo, alongside deals available during the show. Information is available through columbushomeexpo.com and the event's Eventbrite listing.

2. Veterans Day Parade Scheduled for Saturday at 10 AM

Columbus' 2026 Veterans Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at 10 AM, according to the Columbus Parks and Recreation website. The published parade route runs from Dillingham Street to 9th Street. The city also provides a linked registration form for parade entries.

The parade takes place during the same weekend as the Home Expo and the craft market. On Saturday the Home Expo is also open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The city's published information identifies the parade route and starting time but does not provide additional timing details for individual sections of the route.

Veterans Day falls on Wednesday, November 11, in 2026, three days before the Saturday parade. The city's listing places the parade on Saturday, November 14. Parade registration information is available through the Columbus Parks and Recreation website.

3. Fall Craft and Vendor Market Comes to Peachtree Mall Nov. 14-15

The Columbus Fall Craft & Vendor Market is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, at Peachtree Mall, 3131 Manchester Expressway, Columbus, GA 31909. Hometown Vendor Market is identified as the organizer in the event's Eventbrite listing. The market is scheduled for both weekend days, but its published hours are inconsistent.

The body of the event listing gives Saturday hours of 11 AM-8 PM and Sunday hours of 12 PM-6 PM. However, the event page's header lists 11 AM-6 PM for both days. Those conflicting schedules mean the exact hours should be confirmed through the organizer's listing before attending.

The market's listing identifies the event as a fall craft and vendor market, and Hometown Vendor Market is the organizer. It does not state an admission price in the verified event information. The Eventbrite event page is the published source for the location, organizer and schedule information.

4. Jules Money Show at Do Good Gallery Saturday Evening

Jules Money is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at Do Good Gallery, with the event listing showing 7-9 PM. Doors are scheduled to open at 7 PM, and the show is scheduled to begin at 8 PM. The venue is The Do Good Fund, 111 West 12th Street, #103, Columbus, GA 31901, according to the Eventbrite listing.

Admission costs $15 at the door, according to the published event details. The event page says capacity is limited and suggests reserving tickets in advance through Eventbrite. The listing identifies the show and its schedule but does not provide a description of Jules Money or a musical genre. The page does not state a year, and the listing appears among 2026 results.

The distinction between the door-opening time and showtime is part of the published schedule. The listed event period begins at 7 PM, while the performance is scheduled for 8 PM. Reservation details are available on the Jules Money Eventbrite page.

5. Other Saturday Entertainment Includes a RiverCenter Show and Free Movie

RiverCenter for the Performing Arts lists Mystic Pizza for Saturday, November 14, at 7:30 pm. The date and time appear on RiverCenter's published events calendar. The production is another listed Saturday evening event in Columbus.

The Springer Opera House lists a free showing of The Goofy Movie on the Springer PATIO on Saturday, November 14. Gates are scheduled to open at 7:30 PM, and the movie is scheduled to begin at 8 PM. Admission is free, according to the Springer event page.

Both events have evening schedules that overlap with the Jules Money listing. The RiverCenter performance is scheduled to begin at 7:30 pm, followed by the listed 8 PM starts for Jules Money and the Springer movie. The Springer movie night is also covered in the earlier Springer lineup story on this site.

6. Friday and Sunday Offer Different Event Schedules

Friday, November 13, has the Columbus Home Expo as the featured event in this weekend listing. The expo opens at noon and closes at 6 PM at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center, according to Nationwide Expos. The Friday schedule accounts for six of the expo's 18 operating hours.

Sunday, November 15, includes both the final day of the Home Expo and the second day of the Columbus Fall Craft & Vendor Market. The Home Expo is scheduled from 11 AM to 4 PM, while the craft market's page body lists noon to 6 PM. The craft market's header gives a different Sunday opening time, so its hours remain subject to confirmation.

Saturday, November 14, has the largest number of separately listed activities in this roundup. It includes the Veterans Day Parade, the Home Expo, the craft market, Jules Money, Mystic Pizza and the Springer movie. Their schedules span morning, afternoon and evening, according to their respective event listings.

7. Another Columbus Event Is Scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12

River City Connect is scheduled for Thursday, November 12, from 5:30-7:30 pm at Collaboration Station, 109 12th Street. The gathering is identified as a networking event in its Eventbrite listing. Its scheduled date places it one day before the November 13-15 weekend.

The Thursday gathering is separate from the main weekend event list. Its 5:30-7:30 pm time is published in the event information. The listing does not give an admission price. Further details are available through the River City Connect Eventbrite listing.

The date provides an additional event option during the same week as the Home Expo, parade and craft market. Unlike the three-day Home Expo, River City Connect is listed for Thursday only. The published information gives its date, time and location.

8. Weekend at a Glance: Dates, Times, Locations and Admission

The event listings provide several different ways to organize the November 13-15 schedule. Nationwide Expos lists the Home Expo across all three days, while Columbus Parks and Recreation lists the Veterans Day Parade for Saturday morning.
