NWS staff members, local media and TV meteorologists, emergency officials and several public service organizations will be providing demonstrations and educational materials for adults and children.

Children will have the chance to meet local television meteorologists and try their hand at giving a weather broadcast in front of a green screen. There will be multiple giveaways and many more interactive activities for children and their parents!

Edventure is located in downtown Columbia at 211 Gervais St, Columbia, SC 29201. Weatherfest is included with the price of daily admission to EdVenture and free for members.
