The 3 Block Farmers Market In South Carolina You’ll Want To Experience For Yourself

Outdoor adventures abound in the Palmetto State and perhaps none are more family-friendly (even the dog is welcome!) or more lively than the year-round farmers market dubbed "Soda City Market" found on Main Street and only steps from the statehouse.

With the majestic dome looking on, the Soda City Market encompasses three long city blocks on Main Street in Columbia.

Taking place each and every Saturday morning, rain or shine, this long-running market brings together in one place at least 150 vendors each week.

Even in the chilling days of winter, you can head to Columbia, park for free, and stroll down Main enjoying the sights and sounds of this awesome marketplace. Expect to find artisans selling crafts of all kinds, including paintings, hand-crafted woodwork, pottery, and more!

Be sure to come hungry! A number of food trucks are always at the ready to satisfy your every craving.

And of course, year-round farmer stands bring to market the freshest fruits and vegetables available.

Grab some to take home for dinner...

... and then find some immediate hunger satisfaction among the many food trucks and booth vendors who dole out a huge variety of foods from which to choose.
