Columbia, SC

Celebrate the music, art, and spirit of Jerry Garcia at JerryFest 2026 on Sunday, October 4, in Five Points. This free annual music festival honors the legacy of the legendary guitarist and the enduring influence of the Grateful Dead with a full day of live entertainment, artisan vendors, food, and community celebration.

Originally created more than 25 years ago by Loose Lucy’s, JerryFest has grown into one of Five Points’ signature events. The festival recreates the laid-back atmosphere inspired by the Grateful Dead’s historic 1985 performance in Columbia and brings together Deadheads, music lovers, and families for an unforgettable experience.

Festivalgoers can enjoy live jam bands and acoustic performances across multiple stages, artisan vendors featuring crafts and bohemian clothing, local food trucks, beverage stations, and interactive activities for all ages. The expanded festival footprint also includes the Lil’ Hippy Corner with crafts, face painting, and family-friendly activities for children.

Presented annually by the Five Points Association and Loose Lucy’s, JerryFest continues to attract visitors from across the region for a full day of music and community spirit from noon until 8 p.m. Concealable weapons are not permitted at the event.
