October 9 – October 11, 2026 · 30 events
This weekend in Columbia, Missouri brings 30 live events across the city — from comedy to music. 5 events are explicitly listed as free. Here's what's on.
Columbia, Missouri is a quintessential college-town music scene, home to the University of Missouri and two additional colleges. The Blue Note is one of the Midwest's most respected live music clubs, booking national touring acts since 1980. Rose Music Hall adds an intimate second stage. Ragtag Cinema presents film and occasional live events. The Missouri Theatre hosts larger concerts and performing arts in a beautifully restored 1928 building. True/False Film Fest each March has become one of America's most important documentary festivals. The District downtown buzzes with live music at bars and restaurants, and the city's creative, progressive community supports an events calendar that far exceeds what you'd expect for a city of 125,000.
