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.

One

Great literature belongs to everyone. That’s the mission behind the Upstate Shakespeare Festival, which showcases free Shakespeare plays in Greenville, SC. Visit Falls Park from May 21st-June 21st to view the classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The show starts at 7pm, but be sure to get there early if you want a great seat. Participants are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating, as well as drinks and snacks. Alcohol is permitted with a $1 ticket and valid ID. Experience Shakespeare as it was meant to be: live!

Two

This weekend, the NCAA is hosting the Southern Conference Baseball Championship at Fluor Field in Greenville, SC. All day passes start at $20, making it an affordable and chill weekend pastime. Come cheer on your favorite team and be sure to grab a snack from the concession stand. Please note that Fluor Field has a clear bag policy. Additionally, it’s recommended to select seats in the shade if possible because it is hot, hot, hot out there. Enjoy!

Three

"Hullo there!” Looking for a unique way to spend the weekend? Gallebrae, the annual Greenville Scottish Games, is coming to Greenville May 22nd-23rd. Friday night will kick the festival off with a downtown parade (with bagpipes, marching bands, and floats galore). Then, head to Furman University to watch or participate in the games, which will be $20 for adults and $10 for children. Check out the live music, Scottish dancers, and happy hour for maximum entertainment.

Four

Singer/songwriter Jason Mraz is performing at the Peace Center this Friday night at 8pm. His top hits “I’m Yours,” “Lucky,” and “I Won’t Give Up” were radio sensations and demonstrated his acoustic, reggae style. His new 2023 album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, is decidedly more pop. Check him out live on May 22nd. Tickets start at $71.50.

FIve

This Saturday, check out the GVL Vintage Market to shop for one-of-a-kind, retro items. Throw it back to the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s and shop for timeless clothes, collectibles, vinyl, and more, all while vibing to live music. Join from 5pm-9pm for this free community event; you never know what you’ll find!
