Celebrate THE ARTS First Fridays On the first Friday of each month, The North Village Arts District hosts a public art crawl. Practically next door to campus, this cluster of galleries, shops and restaurants come together to showcase music, art, performances and food.
Living Windows Every winter, Columbia’s downtown district comes alive as storefronts put on GIF-like performances in their windows. More than 40 businesses participate in Living Windows each year, and every year new characters and themes emerge. From a live Nativity scene to a portrayal of “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” attendees are treated to a full buffet of holiday cheer.
