COLUMBIA, S.C. — The city of Columbia is bringing back its free Day 2 Festival at Finlay Park on Sunday, Nov. 15, using the show to mark one year since the downtown park reopened.

The park gates swing open at noon ahead of a 2 p.m. first set, and the last act closes the show by 8 p.m. As in 2025, there is no charge to get in.

Rhythm and blues singer King George leads the bill. Also booked are the Terence Young Experience, fronted by a Columbia smooth jazz guitarist, and LaSell Williams, who will perform with the Time of My Life Band. Master Splinta returns as host, with DJ Roy Neptune working the turntables.

Day 2 began last November as a second free day tacked onto the Jam Room Music Festival weekend, when the city celebrated the reopening of Finlay Park after a $25 million renovation. Jam Room had moved from Main Street into the park for that run.

This year Jam Room returns to Finlay Park on Saturday, Nov. 14, setting up a second straight weekend of back-to-back music downtown. The city has also lined up a contractor to help plan more festivals and events at the park, from booking acts to safety planning.
