If you’re in Columbia this coming week, you’re in for a treat! From fun community events to educational workshops, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Let’s take a look at what’s happening in our vibrant city.
First off, let’s talk about our furry friends. Columbia Animal Services is hosting a free microchipping event on Sunday, September 22, from 1 to 4 p.m. at their facility located at 127 Humane Lane. This is a perfect opportunity for pet owners to ensure that their pets can be easily identified if they ever get lost. Plus, who doesn’t want their beloved pet to return home safely?
And if you’re a fan of peanuts, make sure to mark the 17th Annual Palmetto Peanut Boil on your calendar. It’s happening on Saturday, September 28, from noon until 6 p.m. at the 2900 Block of Devine Street. What’s even better? Columbia Animal Services will be offering free adoptions during the event! Enjoy a day filled with delicious food while also helping support our local animal services through the event proceeds.
For those interested in getting a bit more creative, consider checking out Alexandra’s Art Studio. Located at 111 Sparkleberry Crossing Road, the studio offers a variety of classes for adults, kids, and even kids’ camps. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just looking to paint for fun, there’s a class for you!
Columbia is buzzing with excitement this weekend as Jubilee: Festival of Black History and Culture takes place on Saturday, September 21, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Mann-Simons Site. With the fabulous Sunshine Anderson headlining, it promises to be a day filled with music, culture, and celebration.
And if you love live music, don’t forget to check out the Jam Room Music Festival on Saturday, October 26, starting at noon. It will be held at the 1400 Block of Main at Hampton Street and features an array of local musical talents!
In a show of community spirit, the Therapy Place will hold its largest fundraising gala, Therapalooza, on Friday, September 20, from 7:15 to 10:30 p.m. at The Goodman Building in the South Carolina State Fairgrounds. This is a fantastic chance to support an important cause while enjoying a night out.
The City of Columbia is also looking to honor our green spaces with the Treasured Trees Program. If you know of a tree that holds significant value in the Midlands area, you can nominate it by calling the Forestry and Beautification Department at 803-545-3860. Nominations are open through November 1, so don’t miss your chance!
If you’re looking to get active, consider joining the Team Hope Walk on Sunday, October 6, at Community Park of Irmo. It’s more than just a fun walk; it’s a community event supporting those affected by Huntington’s disease. And there’s opportunity for all ages, so bring the whole family!
Columbia is clearly bursting with activities and events that cater to all interests. Whether it’s arts, pets, history, or community support, there’s something for everyone this week. Why not step out, get involved, and experience all that our wonderful city has to offer?
