September's Family Event Coincides with Heritage Festival!
The annual Heritage Festival is a huge two-day event that spans all of Nifong Park, organized by the City of Columbia in partnership with the Boone County History & Culture Center.
This month our family activities will be on the veranda of the main History & Culture Center building. (Look for the red-roofed building and then signs on the north side!) This is a come and go event, so stay as little or long as you like.
For more detailed information on the activities offered at the event, check our Facebook events.
