PARTICIPATING VENDORS:
As if you didn’t already know, JerryFest was started to commemorate the life and art of musical legend Jerry Garcia. Garcia was best known as the lead guitarist for the Grateful Dead that inspired legions of followers known as “Deadheads.” The last time the Grateful Dead performed in Columbia was on Halloween 1985 at the Carolina Coliseum. Every year, JerryFest aims to recreate that atmosphere. It is one of Five Points’ signature events for the past 10 years and has grown steadily hosting over 2,000 attendees each year!
