Columbia’s Main Street Gets a Glow-Up | Columbia News

Columbia’s Main Street is lighting up in a dazzling new way—with grapevine-covered lanterns glowing from sundown to midnight, turning the downtown vibe into something magical and safer after dark. This isn’t just about aesthetics; city leaders hope it’ll draw more people out at night, boost community spirit, and even help keep college students rooted in town. Backed by the Boyd Foundation and executed by Carolina Landscape Lighting, Phase One has already transformed tree-lined streets from Gervais to Laurel. Up next? Brighter sidewalks and intersections to make nighttime strolls even easier and more inviting—turning Columbia into a warmer, more vibrant place to live, study, and visit.
