Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have spent years in the Greenville area, The Local 5 Newsletter is your one stop destination to find out what you don’t want to miss this weekend in the Upstate.
Every Thursday, we will highlight our ‘top 5 musts’ that will include everything from restaurants, activities, parks, concerts and festivals that are all right here in beautiful Greenville, SC.

This is the last weekend to enjoy Restaurant Week! This year, 57 restaurants are participating, from casual spots to fine dining. For example, enjoy a 3 course meal at Cantina 76 for $20 or a 4 course meal at Abyss Raw Bar & Cocktail for $70. Restaurant Week is an excellent excuse to get dressed up and try something you never would, courtesy of a great deal. They have deals on seafood and farm-to-table, and everything in between. Whether you’re looking for a certain cuisine or specific neighborhood, Restaurant Week is the ideal time to explore Greenville’s favorite restaurants.
If watching someone go through an existential crisis sounds intriguing, you may just like the musical Pippin. This 1972 musical follows Prince Pippin, and his journey to overthrow his father Charlemagne, but even absolute power is unfilling. He must seek out: “what is life all about, anyway?” With music and lyrics by Steven Schwartz, you know it’s bound to be good.


Places like Top Golf are fun, but families can easily drop hundreds of dollars there for a simple night out. Co-owner Jim Canavos designed Pickle Yard to be a fun, activity-filled establishment where friends and families can spend hours, without breaking the bank. There are two enclosed outdoor padel courts and six indoor courts, which often offer specialties like “50+,” and “Ladies Night.” Inside, guests can also spend time at ProTee Golf Simulators and/or Dilly’s Oasis Bar. Outside, there is a ping pong table, cornhole game, volleyball nets, tvs, and tables. It’s an ideal place to enjoy a slow glass of wine with treasured friends.
The Nest is Taveler’s Rests’ version of The Pickle Yard, a space “built for connections, community, and casual gatherings.” This welcoming venue is set up right along the Swamp Rabbit Trail! It features Food Truck Fridays, line dancing, and occasional pop-ups. On Food Truck Fridays, the food truck schedule rotates, but Sip Back N Time is always there for a tasty new drink. Come see what the tourists love about Traveler’s Rest!


Attending The Newlywed Game: A Murder Mystery Experience is like stepping into a Netflix series, with all the drama and intrigue. Join on Saturday night at the Crowne Plaza Greenville for dinner and a show, with tickets starting at $85.48. Witness this dating game become a Whodunnit, and see if you can catch the culprit! The menu includes caesar salad, chicken parmesan, garlic bread, dessert, and iced tea. Surely, it will be to die for.
