When the sun clocks out early, Columbia doesn’t have to. As Daylight Saving Time ends, the days get shorter — but that gives us more reason to make the most of the dark.

Night climb at Capital City Climbing

This rock climbing gym is open until 8 p.m. seven days a week, if you’re looking for a fun activity after dark.

Pickleball after dark

At 24 Hour Pickleball, you can book time slots around the clock through the app and participate in tournaments.

Take a cooking class

From bread making to Pasta for Two and Mediterranean Couples Class— head to Let’s Cook Culinary kitchen classroom to escape the dark.

Relax at a wine bar

Attend a local event

Our events calendar features things happening in and around Cola every single day, no matter when the sun sets.
