This weekend in Columbia is all about food-and-drink plans with a side of browsing, bikes, and people-watching. The brunch phase is fading, the patio phase is kicking in, and everyone seems to be circling the same handful of spots. The gravitational center at the moment? 710 Meeting St in West Columbia. It’s become the default answer to “what are we doing?” — especially when you want a little bit of everything: drinks, food, and an excuse to wander a craft and vendor market without committing to a full-on festival. When an event like the Craft & Vendor Market is already vendor-sold-out, it means two things: get there early, and expect to bump into at least three people you sort-of know. Park Place Venue is pulling the more dressed-up crowd — the ones who treat weekends like mini-holidays and don’t mind planning ahead for a night that involves actual shoes instead of sneakers. It’s the kind of spot that quietly wins repeat visitors: reliable drinks, decent space to move around, and just enough structure that it doesn’t feel chaotic. If you’re trying to look like you “had plans” all along, this is where you book first. Then there’s The Gwynn Event Center, which leans into big-night energy without going full chaos. Think: people who live for niche events, themed nights, or things like the Bike Show — the sort of gathering that pulls in superfans, curious onlookers, and everyone who just wants a reason not to be on the couch. If you’re tired of generic bar hangs and want something that feels like an actual event, this is the move. Here’s how to play your weekend in Columbia if you’re chasing the current food-and-drink wave: - Start the afternoon at 710 Meeting St for the Craft & Vendor Market (vendor spots are already full, so expect a crowd and go for a lazy browse + snack situation). - Slot in an evening plan at Park Place Venue if you’re in the mood for a put-together night with reliable drinks and a semi-dressy vibe. - Hit The Gwynn Event Center for Bike Show energy and more scene-y nighttime plans if you want something louder, later, and full of people-watching. Pick one anchor event, then build the rest of your weekend around where you actually want to eat and drink — because that’s what Columbia is doing right now. ## Food & Drinks Events in Columbia - **Event Name**: Columbia's 11th Shrimp & Grits Fest - **Description**: **Tickets go on sale March 1, 2026** Many restaurants have shrimp and grits on their menus; most even claim theirs are the best.
