Lights Before Christmas at Riverbanks Zoo

One of Columbia’s most beloved holiday traditions is the Lights Before Christmas at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. This enchanting display features over one million twinkling lights, festive music, and animated images that light up the night sky. Visitors can stroll through the zoo with hot cocoa in hand and enjoy the wonder of the season. Kids especially love meeting Santa, roasting marshmallows, and spotting their favorite animals in unique holiday habitats.

This event runs from mid-November through late December, making it the perfect outing to kick off or close out the season. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the memories!

Columbia Holiday Parade

The Columbia Holiday Parade is another can’t-miss event. Featuring vibrant floats, marching bands, and performances from local talent, this parade is a joyful celebration of the city’s diverse community. Families line the streets to enjoy the festive sights and sounds, making it an excellent opportunity to connect with neighbors and spread holiday cheer.

The parade usually takes place in early December, so while it may have already passed, the memories it creates last throughout the season. Mark your calendar next year for this beloved tradition!
