Music lovers can enjoy performances by local bands, with headliner Deandra & 46 Story closing the evening with danceable classics and R&B hits.
The Miss Fall Fest Pageant returns, celebrating charm and community spirit, and early registration is open. Foodies can participate in Columbia’s Fruit Tea Throwdown, voting for the best fruit tea in town, while families can explore an expanded Kid Zone with inflatables, games, face painting, and balloon artists.
Local vendors and food trucks will line the downtown square, offering handmade goods and seasonal treats. Photo opportunities, including the popular Tri-Green Tractor Booth, provide perfect spots for capturing memories.
