Columbia, South Carolina – Columbia locals are being asked to put on their sneakers and go downtown to Finlay Park for the third annual “Jump Start Your Heart” Day Party. The event will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it is part of the larger celebration of February as National Heart Month.
The event is part of the Go Red movement, which raises awareness of heart disease and the importance of heart health. It is meant to combine learning with exercise. City planners say the goal is clear: to make a location where people can learn more about how to protect their hearts while having fun in a friendly, energetic setting.
People who come to the two-hour event will be able to do a lot of free things. There will be health exams on site, so participants may check important indicators and talk to professionals. There will also be a number of health-related exhibitors there who will have materials and information about prevention, wellness, and living a healthy life…
