This is the neighborhood’s signature open house which has ushered in the holidays in Columbia for 40 years. More than 60 galleries, shops, and restaurants open their doors to showcase their holiday treasures and delicious dishes. Make your plans and reservations now!

Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, shop local businesses, help us light the Vista tree near the corner of Lincoln and Gervais Streets and enjoy all the businesses have to offer. The free Kid’s Zone presented by 94.3 The Dude will once again take over Lincoln Street with EdVenture, activities for children, face painting, balloon art, reindeer snacks, visits with Santa and more.
