{Around Town} A Very Starry Night at Five Points

A Starry Night did not disappoint. Five Points was glowing with lights and the stores were brimming with shoppers. The gelato shop, Scoopy Doo, was packed full of customers enjoying their gelatos and a visit with a very popular St. Bernard. It's such a unique little dairy bar and the pistachio gelato hit the spot. Although, my friend thought the chocolate rivaled what she had in Italy.  The Gourmet Shop had a huge crowd and everyone seemed to be having a blast at the Champagne Bash and Art Auction. 

 

 

We never did take a horse and carriage ride, as we were too busy Christmas shopping. The find of the night though was a boutique called Portfolio Art Gallery. They had beautiful pottery pieces and very unusual jewelry. My favorite were a pair of delicate copper earrings made by an artisan from Oregon.

Fountain at Sunset!

SIP COCOA BY THE FOUNTAIN...SHOP TIL YOU DROP... AND STROLL THROUGH A STARRY NIGHT!

  To commemorate its 100th birthday, Five Points is putting out all the stops and making this event the best Starry Night yet! Shops will be open late offering sales and items that cannot be found in large retail stores. Not only will they be discounting their unique items but they will be providing refreshments while you buy that special gift that you can't find anywhere else.

Let's support our small local businesses that have struggled since the flood. Take a horse carriage ride or if you prefer, come with a group and ride the 16 passenger bikes provided free by SC Pedal Parlor.

The amazing dancers from the Unbound Dance Company will be delighting the crowd with impromptu performances throughout the night. If you need to get cozy and warm, hot cocoa will be provided by the fountain, or sip your favorite wine by the fire, while listening to holiday tunes.

Five Points is Columbia's original village neighborhood and it has been serving up a unique artsy hometown vibe that can't be felt anywhere else. Get your holiday shopping done while having fun and making memories! Let's bring our friends and family... take pictures in the Holiday Photo Booth to preserve the memory and help Five Points celebrate their hundredth birthday in style!!
