The Five Points Association is a small nonprofit based in Columbia, South Carolina, focused on maintaining Five Points as a vital part of the city. It has led or supported major infrastructure, development, and beautification efforts, including two signature fountains, a monumental street-scaping project executed by the City of Columbia, a village-wide beautification initiative, and the creation of a master plan, design guidelines, and a new zoning overlay. The association works to keep the district attractive for merchants, residents, and visitors, supported by a membership that exceeds one hundred annually and ongoing community engagement. The organization hosts annual events that draw thousands and serve as a staple of Columbia's cultural calendar, including St. Pat’s in Five Points and the Five After Five concerts. A notable recent development is a May 2024 partnership with Fit Columbia to host a Tour of Tea in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
