The Downtown Residents' Association of Columbus (DRAC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting downtown Columbus, Ohio as viable place to live, work and play.
As a membership organization, we connect people through social events and volunteer opportunities that promote our community, we inform our members of the latest issues and developments within the city, and we advocate for the issues that help improve the quality of life in our city's center.
Bernard Electric (253 N. Third) & Element Pizza (250 N. Third)
Bernard Electric will welcome DRAC members (and guests) and give a tour of their showroom, featuring contemporary and traditional lighting design. We'll then cross the street to socialize at Element, sample their amazing pizza and hear downtown retail news from Kacey Campbell Brankamp, Project Coordinator at Capital Crossroads SID.
Parking is available in the Bernard parking lot or on the street.
DRAC is proud to announce our philanthropic effort, in partnership with Capital Crossroads SID, to restore two downtown historic clocks in celebration for Columbus' 200th anniversary. To learn more, click here.
BE SOCIAL
Loving downtown doesn't mean you have to live here, that's why we invite you to attend our monthly meetings. Each meeting is held at a different downtown location to promote our businesses, services, and historic sites. In addition, you get to meet many like-minded people who all share a common interest in experiencing the great things our downtown has to offer!
BE INFORMED
With our amazing connections throughout the city, DRAC is committed to sharing the latest news and developments impacting our community. At our monthly meetings, guest speakers provide a brief presentation on the latest issues, developments and causes that help make us more informed citizens.
BE HEARD
Have a concern, question, or recommendation? Let us know! DRAC is often used as a sounding board for civic issues and new developments that impact the community. We celebrate the best of city life and advocate for the improvements that will make downtown Columbus an even better place for everyone.
Whether you are new to the Columbus area, have lived here for years, or just looking to get involved with a fun and social organization, DRAC welcomes you!
