Ring in the new year with

Capital City Fireworks!

This family-friendly event promises fun for everyone.  Citizens and visitors are encouraged to make plans to spend New Year’s Eve in the capital city. Columbia is a definite destination for great dining experiences and energetic entertainment venues. Spend a fun-filled evening in the city and then stay to watch the sky light up with vibrant colors.

The best viewing area of the fireworks display will be on the north side of the South Carolina State House along Gervais St. and Main St.

Several roads will be closed around the State House ahead of the fireworks display. Visitors are encouraged to use free on-street meter parking or complimentary parking in our downtown parking facilities.

Join us downtown on New Year’s Eve, Main at Gervais, for a spectacular fireworks display at midnight and ring in 2023!
