About this event
Laissez les bons temps rouler and celebrate Mardi Gras with the benevolent society of the Krewe de Columbi-Ya-Ya sponsored by Abita Brewing Company!
The 10th annual Mardi Gras Columbia Festival and parade will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2020 at City Roots Farm in downtown Columbia’s historic Rosewood neighborhood.
Hosted by the Krewe de Columbi-Ya-Ya, the family-friendly event will kick off with the customary neighborhood Mardi Gras parade at 11am, followed by a music festival with more than 20 live bands and 4 stages from 1 pm to 6pm. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome in the parade and at the festival. No dogs are allowed in City Roots’ greenhouses or kitchen facilities.
Admission for the music festival is $5 for adults and free for kids 12 and under. It is free to participate and walk with the Ya-Yas in the parade so please join us in our celebration. The festival will feature ice cold beverages thanks to Louisiana-based Abita Brewing Company, and a variety of cuisines will be available for purchase from several local food trucks and vendors.

About the Krewe de Columbi-Ya-Ya
The Krewe de Columbi-Ya-Ya is an all-volunteer private club based in Columbia, South Carolina that is dedicated to doing charitable work and letting the good times roll since founding the Mardi Gras Columbia festival in 2011.
Committed to the Krewe’s benevolent mission, each Krewe member participates in the organization of the Mardi Gras Parade and the Mardi Gras Festival, to bring the community together in a family-friendly atmosphere of unity and celebration. Other Krewe events throughout the year consist of happy hours, barbecues, bacchanals, other local parades, and the annual coronation of the King and Queen of the Krewe de Columbi-Ya-Ya, held near Twelfth Night. The Mardi Gras Columbia festival occurs each year on the Saturday before Fat Tuesday.
