This will be the scene Friday evening and all day Saturday with the only traffic on Columbia's Public Square being that of pedestrians enjoying food, fun and entertainment. Vehicles will be routed through the alleys around town, as the Square will be completely blocked off. The Veterans Memorial Bypass will be a welcome relief for those who need to move through Columbia quickly and not be held up by lines. Click on Columbia Magazine "Events" for a complete listing.
