Student entrepreneurs invited to showcase their businesses at Soda City Market
March 17, 2026
The City of Columbia and Soda City Market are collaborating to host our fourth annual Student Market Pop Up on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Students (ages 16 and older) will have the opportunity to showcase their goods, services, and enterprising ideas to the Columbia community at Soda City for free.
Students will experience running a pop-up shop, alongside regular vendors, and receive both media and marketing exposure for their business. To ensure there are no barriers, the City of Columbia is providing tables for the students and Soda City Market is handling the event map and booth assignments.
Previous business merchandise has featured crafts, custom artificial flower bouquets, vintage goods, and various accessories, including bedazzled sunglasses! We are proud to showcase the entrepreneurial spirit of our young innovators. Last year, 20 young business owners participated, and we would love to continue growing this event.
Students can register by filling out this form by March 28, 2026. After the registration date has closed, students will receive all further details. (https://docs.google.com/
