Five Points’ Annual Summer Sidewalk Sale is back

Five Points Association Shares Sales Specials in Anticipation of this Weekend’s Event!

Five Points’ Annual Summer Sidewalk Sale is back this weekend starting Friday, August 13^th through Monday, August 16^th. Columbia’s largest sidewalk sale stretches over four days and features many retailers and restaurants.

“We chose this particular weekend to host our annual sale to coincide with UofSC’s Move-In Weekend happening on Sunday and Monday. The Five Points Association wants to show students and their families that there is so much more to our village than just the nightlife scene. We have so many unique boutiques and amazing restaurants for students to visit throughout the school year that are affordable for their budget,” says Katy Renfroe, association manager, of the Five Points Association.

Get some great deals on summer items and try out new recipes from our restaurants made especially for the sale weekend. You might even see everyone’s favorite Gamecock hanging out on Saturday at Home Team BBQ. We’ll also have frozen treats available for purchase and live music throughout the village as well (stations and musicians listed below).

“Five Points’ Annual Summer Sidewalk Sale offers an opportunity to get some great pricing on end-of-summer fashions and décor from our merchants, so they can make room for the fall season offerings. With the weather in South Carolina, you’ll still have a couple months to get some good wear out of your purchases before it gets cooler in late October. Come to Five Points this weekend where you’ll always find things that you can’t get anywhere else,” states Renfroe.
