Day by Day
Palmetto Parent's calendar offers readers the most extensive information on events and activities of interest to families, parents, and children in the greater Columbia region. To simplify your search, we showcase daily listings, and we divide them into activities that cater to children, that are intended for parents and entire families, and that focus solely on babies. We also highlight opportunities for volunteers to contribute to related events and groups. 

Activities, classes, and events that are open to the public and that are sponsored by nonprofit organizations, or those that are free, are listed at no charge on a space-available basis. All other activities and events submitted to Palmetto Parent are included at the discretion of the editors. 

Submissions should include title, date, time, location, cost, and contact information, as well as a brief description of the event or activity. Items should be submitted no later than the 25th of the month two months preceding the event. You may choose to feature your event and give it more prominence and visibility for a cost of $65 per event per month. For more information, call 864-201-1718 or email chris@worthyplace.com.
