Check out The Local 5
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.
Take a little trip to the theater this weekend… for free! Centre Stage is hosting its 24th annual New Play Festival from October 22–24 in downtown Greenville. Watch three finalist plays compete for the judges’ approval, with the winning play set to return to Centre Stage next season. Catch The Sugar Mountain Methodist Women’s Fashion Show on October 22, John Deserves to Die on October 23, and This Is the Subtext on October 24. Let’s face it: Netflix can get boring, but the New Play Festival offers something you won’t find on your usual watchlist: original theater! Admission is free, but be sure to reserve your spot online.
Can't decide whether to see a show, a dance performance, or a rock concert? With Madame Tutu’s Nightmare at the Museum, you can enjoy all three in one unforgettable spectacle. Carolina Ballet Theatre brings this dazzling production to the Peace Center on October 23–24. Inspired by rock legends Michael Jackson, Guns N’ Roses, and Journey, the performance tells a spooky story of a night in a museum through music and dance. Tickets start at $55.
Did you know that only 1% of the world’s population has completed a marathon? If that sounds like a challenge, you can run a marathon at the Spinx Run Fest at Fluor Field in Greenville, SC, this Saturday. Tickets are $150. All runners will have finisher medals because just participating is an accomplishment in itself.
Boo! Spend a wild night at the Zoo this October during Boo at the Zoo, where individuals can visit exotic animals and view family-friendly Halloween decor. It’s October’s equivalent to looking at Christmas lights in December. Tickets are $15 and $3 extra for trick or treating. Explore Pumpkinville, Dragon Alley, Ghost Town, and a festive light tunnel with your loved ones. Costumes are encouraged!
If you’ve never visited charming Greer, SC, the Greer Arts & Eats Fest is the perfect excuse to explore! Stop by from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for live music, interactive demonstrations, and local vendors. Bringing the kids? The Kids Creation Station will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering little ones a chance to get creative. Grab a bite or a drink from one of the food trucks or Main Street restaurants, then head to Greer City Park for a picnic. Browse the vendors for unique treasures, though you might find that the day’s experience was the real treasure all along.
