This weekend is Small Business Saturday, and we thought what better way to support, shop, + see some of Columbia’s local small businesses than Soda City?

Rain or shine — year round, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. — Soda City is a collection of local entrepreneurs who bring unique pieces, hand-crafted items, and Southeast produce to fill your belly, brain, + body in the heart of downtown on Main Street every Saturday.

Soda City Market is a microcosm of Columbia, a melting pot of cultures, and an inviting community experience. Without further ado, Here’s a roundup of 140+ Soda City vendors to shop local this holiday season.
