There’s always something to do in the Columbia area! We’ve worked to help you keep your sanity by bringing these October activities all together in one easy guide so you don’t miss a thing! We’ll update with new additions as they come.
Don’t forget to check out our Resources Page for all our local guides – parks & playgrounds, indoor play areas, kids eat free, kid-friendly hiking spots, photographers, preschools, local shopping, and more!
