What's Happening This Week: December 12 – 19

COLUMBIA, SC – December 12 – 19, 2012 – The world’s largest fire hydrant is in search of a new home. The 40 foot tall, 675,000 pound structure is being moved from the spot it has occupied for over a decade. Help choose a new location for Busted Plug Plaza.

When you’re taking a break from brainstorming for the Busted Plug move, catch a flick at the Nick or the SC State Museum. Get into the holiday spirit with Theatre Rowe’s production of Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and then some), Town Theatre’s Bah Humbug! Scrooge’s Christmas Carol, or Columbia City Jazz Dance Co.’s The Two Claras. Don’t miss A Devine Night Out on Thursday. Join more than 40 stores on Devine Street at 5pm on December 13th for an evening of shopping, socializing, and festive cheer. And remember to check out our ongoing events.
