Good morning, Columbia.

Yesterday, Agriculture Park hosted the 16th annual Harvest Hootenanny where Columbia high school students prepared main dishes like pulled pork and barbeque chicken using local ingredients for a free community event that required ticket purchase to support CCUA’s program.

The festival featured carnival games, vendors, music, square dancing and live animals — a celebration of local talent and the harvest season.

Local students organized Harvest Hootenanny—an event where visitors danced, played carnival games and enjoyed a meal made with local ingredients.

Columbia’s annual Heritage Festival returned to Nifong Park this weekend and continues today with free admission, craft booths, and family activities.

Organized by Columbia Parks and Recreation, the event features demonstrations of lost arts — including weaving and blacksmithing — and live music and dance with free shuttles from nearby parking.
