It’s shaping up to be another busy week (September 22–28) around Columbia and Spring Hill. Alongside the usual playgroups, story times, and indoor drop-ins, the calendar brings big seasonal openings, hands-on workshops, and unique events you won’t want to miss.
In case you haven’t already heard, the Maury County Public Library will close sometime in October for renovations to the main floor. While the children’s section is downstairs, the entire building will be closed during the work, which is expected to last several months. Programs will be cancelled, relocated, or rescheduled. Stay tuned for updates.
Saturday is especially full, but there’s fun happening all week long. Here are a few highlights:
- Firefly Garden Club – Fall Orchard Workshop (Thursday)
A hands-on session at the Villages Clubhouse where kids ages 4 and up can make apple-stamped totes, enjoy a tasting, and explore fall harvest projects. A creative, seasonal way to spend the morning. - Mid-South Steamers Fall Meet (Friday–Saturday)
Free train rides return at Maury County Park. This one gets busy fast, so plan to arrive early if you want to avoid long waits. - Dinosaur Explorers with Parks & Rec (Friday)
A fossil dig, dino hunt, and themed prizes all packed into an afternoon at Woodland Park. If you haven’t seen the promo video Columbia Parks & Rec created for this event, it’s worth a watch. - Pumpkin Paradise Opening Day (Saturday)
From slides and hayrides to farm animals and a garden kids can dig into, this local favorite is back for the season. - Columbia Comic Book & Toy Expo (Saturday)
A family-friendly expo featuring vintage comics, collectibles, toys, Pokémon, and more. - Making Sense of Solids (Saturday)
Villages Child Development leads this hybrid course for parents ready to explore baby-led weaning, purees, or a mix of both. - Dark Horse Dinner (Saturday evening)
Families can enjoy BBQ, ice cream, and lawn games on the Polk Home grounds while supporting this historic landmark.
My family will be missing the fun this weekend, but I’d love to see what you’re up to. If you head out, tag Columbia TN Kids Guide so others can follow along.
