The Story

This bustling downtown Columbia market transforms Main Street into a lively hub every Saturday, offering a fantastic array of local products and diverse food vendors. It's praised for its vibrant energy and the opportunity to discover unique items and local crafts. While not a traditional soda fountain, it's a great place to explore and find unique treats.

    Free street parking on a Saturday. The event is from 9am to 1pm . Its in main street downtown Columbus. The street is closed off which is a nice stroll while enjoying the different vendors and food carts . The venue is just one block from the state Capitol .

    This was my first experience to Soda City. It was fantastic to see all the product and food vendors. People were very helpful throughout my visit. Highly recommended.

    Soda City Market is always a lot of fun, and is one of my favorite things to do in Columbia! I love getting to know all of the different vendors, and checking out the really cool miscellaneous items that they're selling. Today, I learned that there's a shop in Five Points that sells vintage, 1980s-style clothing, as well as Jamaican, Brazilian, and Belgian-themed restaurants in the city. I never would've known that before going to Soda City. I also got a decent slice of pizza, as well as a solid cup of coffee. And... the dogs! If you're a dog lover, I'm not sure there's a better place on Eart

    After Kara Chamberlain Robinson posted about this place a few months ago, I saved it on my map to visit one day. Well I decided to take a trip to Columbia for the long weekend. I will say I'm glad I saved this on my map to visit, it was worth it. This market is much larger than I expected. The only issue was too many dogs. Someone allowed their dog to poop and NOT picked it up and everyone was stepping in it. This market would be better if they didn't allow dogs. I felt like I was at a dog market.
