Long ago, when the town of Brookland (now West Columbia) was still in its infancy, the murmur of the Congaree River was accompanied by a sweet, melodic harmony that came from its very depths. The locals whispered tales of a mystical river monster known as Treble.

​

According to the lore, Treble was no ordinary river creature. It was said to be a majestic being with shimmering scales that glimmered like moonlit waters. Its eyes held the wisdom of the ages, and its serpentine body swayed rhythmically as if dancing to the cadence of the river's flow.

​

Treble's magical presence was entwined with the music itself. When talented musicians played their instruments near the riverbank, people would gather in hopes of catching a glimpse of the creature.

​

As the City of West Columbia grew and flourished, the citizens realized that the presence of Treble was to be cherished. The people of West Columbia began to celebrate Treble's appearances, understanding that music had the power to bridge the gap between the ordinary and the magical, and the Meeting Street Music Fest was born. 

​

The festival is a grand celebration of different genres of music and the vibrant spirit of the City. Each year people from all over will gather on Meeting Street, the heart of West Columbia, to pay respect to Treble and its harmonious presence.

​

Musicians and performers from far and wide are drawn to the Music Fest, their souls eager to share their melodies with the legendary river maestro. As the melodies echo through the festival grounds, the crowd will wait with anticipation, hoping for Treble's appearance. 

​

The lore of Treble continues to spread far beyond the borders of West Columbia. Music enthusiasts, thrill-seekers, and curious souls will venture from distant lands to witness the wonder of the river monster and the mesmerizing harmony of the festival.

​

The Meeting Street Music Fest is a symbol of unity and artistic expression, a testament to the community’s unique bond with the mysterious Treble. The legend of the river maestro lives on, inspiring generations to embrace the power of music, the beauty of nature, and the magic that lies within the heart of West Columbia.
