Palladium Tour | Landmarks & Landscapes

Wales Garden : Wales Garden, Columbia, SC 29205

You are invited to Palladium's 5th Annual Tour, Landmarks & Landscapes!

This year's tour will showcase several residences in Wales Garden, a historic neighborhood known for its charm, tree-lined streets, and diverse architectural styles. Join us on Sunday, April 7, 2024, to see how the landscape of Wales Garden was redesigned to create a landmark neighborhood unlike any other in the city. 

This is a self-guided, self-paced walking tour that will happen in conjunction with Art in the Garden, a neighborhood art stroll featuring Columbia artists. The tour will conclude with a block party where tour participants will enjoy food, drinks, entertainment, and the southern hospitality that defines much of our community.
