One of Columbia’s most anticipated New Year’s traditions will return to the Historic Public Square as the Mule Drop celebrates its 10th anniversary with a free, family-friendly event welcoming in 2026.
Festivities begin at 9 p.m. with the lighting and raising of the iconic Mule Drop, followed by food trucks, a beer garden, hourly countdowns and celebratory toasts throughout the evening.
The celebration will conclude with a fireworks display and a large confetti blast at midnight to mark the start of the new year.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for those interested in supporting the event. More information can be obtained by contacting Cindy Sims with Center of Hope.
