Springfield Century Ride

The Springfield DDA welcomes you to Downtown Springfield to begin a scenic bike ride through Effingham County. Starting at 8:30 am this year, the Ride will begin and end in Springfield, at Ulmer Ball Park on Jefferson Street and Pine Street. We’ve worked hard over the years to help improve downtown Springfield and proceeds from this annual ride have helped to fund facade grants and beautification projects that have made a huge difference. SWAG bags for all participants will include information from our sponsors, and additional info about stores, restaurants, and events coming up in downtown. We will be raffling off awesome door prizes for our riders as well. We hope that this will give you a sample of downtown and that you will come back for a visit!
This year we are partnering with Effingham Heroes to bring a fun filled day of activities to Ulmer Park. After your ride is complete you can stay in the park to enjoy the event activities and food trucks. Bringing anyone with you? They can watch the Effingham Hero’s Parade from Laurel Street at 10am. This will be a full day of activities and thankfulness to our local Hero’s and first responders.

Delta Circle at The Mars Theatre

Delta Circle Brings Award-Winning Southern Rock Sound to The Mars Theatre
The Historic Mars Theatre is proud to welcome rising Southern rock/Americana band Delta Circle for a live performance in Springfield on July 16th, 2026 at 7PM. Tickets are on sale now at marstheatre.com.

Hailing from Savannah, Georgia, Delta Circle has quickly built a reputation as one of the region’s most exciting emerging acts. Since forming in 2024, the band has earned major recognition across the Southeast and beyond, including winning the Milan Aire Group Battle of the Bands and multiple honors in Connect Savannah’s Best of Awards, where they were named Best Singer/Songwriter and Best Album for their debut release Someone Else’s Story.

Blending Southern grit with polished musicianship, Delta Circle delivers a high-energy live show rooted in storytelling, strong vocals, and dynamic instrumentation. Their sound draws from classic Southern rock traditions while bringing a fresh, modern edge that resonates with both longtime fans of the genre and new audiences alike.

Their rapid rise has also been recognized on a national level, with accolades from the International Singer-Songwriter Association Awards, finalist placements in the Josie Music Awards at the Grand Ole Opry, and continued success in the Georgia Country Awards. Their music has received regional and international airplay, and the band has performed at notable venues including the House of Blues in New Orleans and festivals across the South.

“We’re always looking to bring in artists who feel both exciting and connected to our community, and Delta Circle is exactly that,” said Maddie Greer, Director of The Mars Theatre. “They represent the kind of energy and talent that makes live music at The Mars so special.”

With a 223-seat capacity, The Mars Theatre offers an intimate concert experience, giving audiences the chance to connect with artists in a way larger venues simply can’t replicate.
Tickets are expected to move quickly. Patrons are encouraged to purchase in advance to secure their seats.
