Play on the Plaza: Red, White & Blue

Come out and play on Boyd Plaza with the CMA! Join us every Saturday to build and create with our big blue blocks, perfect for guests of all ages and abilities. Try a design challenge or use your imagination to tap into your engineering ingenuity.

For Independence Day weekend, we celebrate first responders with vehicle demos from the Columbia Fire Department, Police Department, and Emergency Medical Services. Plus, kids create their own make-and-take Soda City rocket kits made of soda bottles and other materials provided by the CMA. Complete the kit at home with safe household materials like vinegar and baking soda. 

This project is supported by a grant from the Knight Foundation Fund and by a Connected Communities grant at Central Carolina Community Foundation. Free.
