Famously Hot Festivals & Events Did you know that the Souper Bowl of Caring started in Columbia, South Carolina? In 1990, Brad Smith, then a seminary intern at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church, delivered this prayer: “Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.” And the inspiration for a national youth-led movement was born. Today, Columbia is home to many exciting events year-round, from a juried ﬁlm festival (Indie Grits Festival) to a foodie extravaganza (Viva La Vista). Be sure to mark your calendars!
