Keys to the Carolinas Hosts a Fall Festival: Why Knowing Your Community Matters

There’s a special kind of magic in the air when autumn arrives in the Carolinas—the crisp breeze, the vibrant leaves, and the anticipation of gathering together. This year, Keys to the Carolinas is thrilled to celebrate the season by hosting a Fall Festival, and we can’t wait to welcome you and your family!

Join us on October 31st from 5 to 8 PM at 319 Long Pointe Lane in Columbia for an evening filled with laughter, connection, and classic fall fun. Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to the neighborhood, this free family event is the perfect way to get to know your community.

What’s in store? Imagine the sweet aroma of a caramel apple bar, where you can craft your own delicious treat with all the toppings you love. For the creative spirits, our pumpkin decorating corner offers a chance to let your imagination run wild. There’s something for everyone, from the littlest trick-or-treaters to grown-ups who are young at heart.

But beyond the caramel apples and painted pumpkins, there’s a deeper reason we host events like this. Community gatherings help us build real relationships. They turn neighbors into friends and transform a collection of houses into a true hometown. When we know our community, we feel safer, more supported, and more invested in the place we call home.

• For families: It’s a chance to make memories and traditions your children will cherish for years.
• For newcomers: It’s an open door to connection and belonging.
• For local businesses: It’s an opportunity to give back and grow alongside the people you serve.

So, mark your calendar and bring your friends! Let’s celebrate fall, friendship, and the wonderful spirit of the Carolinas together. We can’t wait to see you there!
