About this event
Vista Lights is the Congaree Vista Guild's long-running holiday open house in Columbia's Vista neighborhood, where more than 60 galleries, shops and restaurants stay open late. Stage performances lead into the Vista tree lighting near Lincoln and Gervais, with live music afterward and a free Kids' Zone with Santa on Lincoln Street. Free parking at the South Carolina State Museum includes free rides over to Steel Hands Vista, and street meters are free after 6 pm.
Our take: Park at the State Museum and take the free shuttle so you can enjoy the open house without hunting for a Vista curb spot.
Parking
Free parking at the South Carolina State Museum, with free rides from the museum lot to Steel Hands Vista from 5:45 to 9:45 pm. Street meters are free after 6 pm.
Good to know
Thu from 6pm; tree lighting 7pm
