The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here, football fans! This weekend is packed with excitement in Columbia as both the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers kick off their seasons. While the Gamecocks are set to play at home at Williams-Brice Stadium against Old Dominion, the Tigers will face off against Georgia in the shiny surroundings of Mercedes-Benz Stadium down in Atlanta. Whether you’re decked out in your team colors or just looking to enjoy the spirit of the game, it’s certainly an electric time to be in the area!
If football isn’t really your jam, don’t worry! This weekend is about more than just the gridiron; it’s also Labor Day Weekend—a time for relaxing with friends and soaking up the sun. And for those of you lucky enough to have a long weekend, it’s a perfect opportunity to squeeze in some last bits of summer fun before we dive into the fall festivities.
Here are some great local happenings to consider this weekend:
Families can also join in on the fun! Catch a quirky retelling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood puppet show at the Columbia Marionette Theatre with performances at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Additionally, if you’re looking for something a bit less traditional, check out the Revue: Drag Brunch Edition at The Venue from noon to 3:30 p.m.
If you’re a Swiftie, you’ll want to head to Icehouse Amphitheater for a Taylor Swift tribute show, filled with food, beverages, and plenty of sing-along opportunities!
Don’t forget about the Cola Town Throwdown where local baristas will showcase their latte art skills from 3-6 p.m. at Piecewise Coffee Co.. This event is free for spectators, but competitors can enter for just $10. With over $500 in prizes on the line, it’ll be a showdown you won’t want to miss!
So there you have it, Columbia! Whether you’re rooting for the Gamecocks, indulging in delicious eats at a festival, or simply enjoying some much-needed downtime, this weekend has something for everyone. Enjoy it all, and happy Labor Day!
