Live Music, Festivals, and New Restaurants in Columbia

Ozark Mountain Biscuit & Bar, OzarkMountainBiscuits.com 

The Ozark Mountain Biscuit Company food truck is known for traveling around Columbia and making stops at the Columbia Farmers Market, Logboat Brewing Company, and Office Depot and serving up unique meals on homemade buttery biscuits. And now, the company is opening its first brick-and-mortar restaurant this summer at 1204 Hinkson Avenue near Logboat. The food truck will still be in operation, but now the popular food destination will have a permanent spot to serve its southern classics. Follow the biscuit truck on Facebook at Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co. and Twitter at @biscuit_truck for future updates.

In previous years, this festival has always been held in various indoor settings downtown, but this year it will almost entirely be downtown. There will be plenty of live music, movies, and interactive exhibits. The 2021 film lineup and trailers are online now.
