The Cola City Homeschool Expo 2026 is a one-day gathering at the Jamil Center in Columbia, South Carolina, on Saturday, June 27, from 10 am to 4 pm. Built around the theme "Grow Your Village," it pairs 60-plus vendor booths offering curriculum, classes, and services with a virtual workshop series and on-site networking. Cola City Homeschoolers runs it alongside co-hosts Peaceful Gatherings and Akoma Cares. The organizers describe a welcoming space where every family, learner, and educator feels included and valued, drawing newcomers considering homeschooling as well as experienced families of all backgrounds. Attendees can work an interactive vendor map, fill out a "Broader Bookshelf Bingo Card" to discover diverse resources, and pick up giveaways and digital grab bags while connecting with local community leaders.

About Cola City Homeschoolers

SecularRegional

Based in South Carolina's capital region, Cola City Homeschoolers puts on a welcoming one-day expo co-hosted with Peaceful Gatherings. The event is explicitly secular and inclusive, affirming neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ families who don't always see themselves reflected in mainstream homeschool spaces. Families browse a vendor hall, attend practical sessions, and build connections with other local homeschoolers. The tone is community-first and unaffiliated, making it a comfortable on-ramp for parents seeking a like-minded, judgment-free crowd.
