Lantern Tour - different theme each month 2022-05-10 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The popular walk among the markers in the Columbia City Cemetery continues monthly at 7pmCT on the first Friday along with the To the Nines evening shopping hours on the Public Square.
