SOLD OUT | Night to Shine 2026 | Columbia, SC is your sign that big, feel-good, community events are where a lot of hearts actually are this year, while the Gary Conrad Valentines show @Skyline leans into that shared-experience date where you can laugh, watch something, and avoid staring at each other over a too-formal meal. If you’re hunting for properly romantic things to do in Columbia, A Taste of Desire: Five Courses of Temptation Valentines Dinner is the move for couples who like the whole ritual — reservations, multiple courses, a night that feels intentional. On the other end of the spectrum, the 4th Annual Emo Prom @ Bang Back is for the ‘we’re not doing traditional Valentine’s’ crowd: more cathartic sing-along and inside jokes than candlelit romance, which is exactly the point. Spots like 100 Lee Street in West Columbia, 741 Saluda Ave in Five Points, and Savage Craft Ale Works are where these nights are actually playing out — casual, social, and very much in the flow of the city. If you’re on a first date, follow the crowds to markets, open houses, or brewery nights so you have built‑in conversation; if you’re deep into a relationship, commit to the full dinner or a show and make it feel like a real occasion. And if you’re allergic to hearts and flowers but still want to be out, lean into the live shows and throwback parties — the kind of things to do for Valentine’s Day in Columbia that feel more like a story you’ll tell later than a box you’re ticking. ## Trending Events in Columbia - **Event Name**: Comedy Night at Columbia Kettle Works - **Description**: Get ready to laugh until your sides hurt at the Comedy Night at Columbia Kettle Works in Columbia presented by Herron Entertainment the largest veteran owned talent agency.Currently in its thirteenth year, this nationwide comedy tou - **Venue**: Columbia Kettle Works - **Banner**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0057a4d0-8aba-11f1-887f-cf3a1ec20c70-rimg-w1200-h574-dc040410-gmir.jpg?v=1785266690 - **Event Name**: Where Fashion Meets Tribute - **Description**: Some events entertain.
