St. Pat’s in Five Points is back!
COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– St. Pat’s in Five Points is back after a two year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year’s St. Pat’s in Five Points kicks off early this morning with the ‘Get to the Green’ 5K, 10K and 1 mile family fun run. ABC Columbia’s own Curtis Wilson will host the St. Pat’s Parade starting at 10 a.m.
Tickets are $20 in advance online or $25 at the gates.
Organizers say the Grammy winning artists ‘Blues Traveler’ and TikTok hit “Surfaces” will co-headline the event. There will also be a stage dedicated to highlighting 40 years of local bands. It will feature Columbia talent from the last few decades.
“We are super excited to announce our co-headliners for the 40th Anniversary of St. Pat’s! Blues Traveler will really appeal to those who would have attended college back in the ‘90s and early ‘00s garnering an older crowd that may come back to St. Pat’s after many years away while Surfaces connects with today’s college students and those who are college-bound,” says Katy Renfroe, Association Manager of the Five Points Association.
