Palladium's Annual Events

Bidding & BBQ

Silent Auction

Palladium hosts Historic Columbia's largest fundraiser each Fall, and it's quite a party! Join us for the 20th Annual Palladium Silent Auction: Bidding & BBQ on October 24, 2024. Featuring live music, delicious BBQ, an open bar, a look back at 20 years, and, of course, great auction items up for bid, this is sure to be a special evening.

FREE for Palladium Members

Renovation Rodeo

Throughout the year, Palladium features a property that has undergone—or is undergoing—a dynamic renovation. From tiny 40s bungalows to turn-of-the-century mansions, and everything in between, these give you a chance to tour properties, learn about their renovation, and have a great time doing it.

Palladium Tour

The Palladium Board creates tours around our city that focus on a certain theme or architectural style. Past Palladium Tours have explored our city's mid-century modern, modernist, and Craftsman style architecture. Don't miss the chance to see inside some of Columbia's architectural gems!

Palladium events are coordinated by the efforts of the volunteer-led Palladium Board. Board members have the opportunity to gain leadership experience and network more deeply with other Palladium and Historic Columbia members. Board members serve on a variety of committees that oversee Palladium events and research initiatives, and take an active role in collaborating with Historic Columbia staff to bring these ideas to life. Interested in joining the Palladium Board? Contact the Development office for additional information.
