What's Happening
The Cayce-West Columbia calendar of events and activities is full year-round: museum exhibits, our annual Tartan Day South Highland Games and Celtic Festival held each spring, canoe and tubing trips down the river during summertime, theater performances from fall to spring and holiday activities for the entire family.
Not too be missed are the State Fair held each October and University of South Carolina (USC) football and basketball. Go Gamecocks!
