Groove Into the Spirit of JerryFest in Five Points

Columbia’s Five Points district will host JerryFest, a free live music festival celebrating

the Grateful Dead, from noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday, October 5, at the Five Points

Fountain. This year, they will be celebrating 60 years of the Grateful Dead. The annual

event, held the first Sunday in October, features artisan vendors, food trucks, local

restaurants, beverage stations and two entertainment stages.

The family-friendly festival also includes a Lil’ Hippy Corner with crafts and face painting

for children. Organizers note that JerryFest expanded its footprint in 2023, doubling

attendance and broadening the music lineup to attract both Columbia residents and out-

of-town guests.
