Soda City Saturday Market
Columbia, South Carolina, by Dawn Hunter



The Soda City Market is open from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays year-round, rain or shine, and is a great activity for those who live in the Midlands or are looking for a destination weekend activity. This market is only for producers, which means each vendor has to make or grow the products they have for sale. The average number of vendors that sell fruit, vegetables, jewelry, baked goods, art, food trucks, clothing, accessories, and more each week is 150, and the database of vendors on rotation is 400. Plus, there is frequently LIVE music!

EXPLORE LAKE JOCASSE
South Carolina, by Dawn Hunter





Lake Jocassee, located in the far northwest corner of the state of South Carolina, is a lake within Devils Fork State Park of Oconee County, SC. It is an excellent destination if you are looking for a weekend in-state excursion or a destination to explore if you are visiting from out of state. It is a family-friendly and dog-friendly destination. The lake has clean, clear, and cold water from the rivers of the Appalachian mountains that flow into it – so one can cool off no matter how hot it gets! Whether you are looking for peaceful solitude or action-packed adventures, there are lots of activities to choose from, like, flatwater kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, scuba diving, and hiking.
