Luck O' the Irish
St. Patrick's Day is a day kids can really get into! Pinching is permitted, green drinks and food are all the rave and Leprechauns are cool creatures! Columbia will host several events to celebrate the day. Some events are just for kids or for the whole family.
The most popular annual event in the Midlands is St. Pat's Day in Five Points held on Saturday, March 15, 2003. A new addition to the festival this year is the 5K race (starting at 8:30 AM) and a 1-mile walk (starting at 8:35 AM). The Children's Carnival will include the Oprah for Kids with performances of "The Three Little Pigs" and "Goldilocks," as well as more family oriented entertainment and amusements. Adult admission is $7.00 and parking will be available in the Harden Street Food Lion parking lot for a $5.00 fee while spaces last.
Local parks and libraries are also providing St. Patrick's Day activities with crafts and costume fun:
