The Soda City Market takes place every Saturday from 9am - 1pm in downtown Columbia, SC.
It has been a while since I have blogged this weekly event. Here is a summer peek.
A perfect place to enjoy a treat.
There are plenty of food trucks and vendors to choose from.
The Potato Guy also make beignets! I have yet to try them.
What did I indulge in? What was aptly named a Capresa Arepa.
My guess is this is not traditional Venezuelan or Colombian food, but what a great idea! It was delicious and healthy. Eventually we will attempt to create our own arepas at home.
Sorry for the partially eaten photo. The inside was difficult to see when it was whole.
All sorts of vendors line Main Street. The state symbol is prevalent in the local crafts
The market seems to be twice as large in the summer than it was during winter.
People certainly brave the heat here.
With so much stimulation, you don't notice the soaring morning temperatures.
Of course there is your fresh produce here too. South Carolina being the number 1 peach producer in the U.S., you see lots and lots of peaches right now.
Street performers are out and about. These guys were making funky music.
Dogs are incredibly well behaved and social here.
What would a market like this be without a fun balloon artist? A lot of little girls were walking around with pretty magic balloon wands.
I hope you enjoyed our market stroll!
If you go, the market takes place rain or shine every Saturday morning throughout the year, spanning up to 6 blocks on Main Street. On street parking is free on Saturdays.
Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
