Columbia For The Holidays

The streets of The Vista, Five Points, Devine Street, and the Main Street District will soon be dawned with twinkly lights and wreaths. It's a time when the capital city becomes even more magical than its usual charm. Beyond the beauty, it's hard to be bored during the holidays. 

Columbia for the holidays has become nothing short of a fantastic light show thanks to rockstar events like Lights Before Christmas at the Riverbank Zoo and Holiday Lights on the River hosted by the Irmo Chapin Recreation Commission. If looking at dazzling and somewhat tacky holiday lights isn't your thing, there are more than enough ways to get your holiday fix in Columbia, South Carolina. There are many holiday festivals that combine live music, shopping, and family cheer - A Starry Night and Vista Lights to name a few. Get your calendar out and get familiar with the list below. You can bet you'll find something that suits whatever your holiday spirit!
