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.

One

Two hundred and forty-five years ago, the Battle of Cowpens turned the tide of the Revolutionary War. This weekend, its anniversary is being recognized at Cowpens National Battlefield, and there’s plenty of free activities to check out. There will be weapon and cavalry demonstrations and lantern tours (after 5:40 and by reservation). Make history come alive in an unforgettable way.

Two

Beyoncé. Taylor Swift. They are NOT coming to Greenville anytime soon… but their songs sure are. Join the Bey/Tay Experience at the Mauldin Cultural Center for a rocking good time. Powerful singers from the area will be sharing covers of popular Beyoncé and Swiftie tracks, and the dance floor will be open all night for individuals to strut their stuff. General admission for standing only is $25. Seated spots are $30, and even more VIP options are available. Slay!

Three

Mauldin’s favorite gathering place, Bridgeway Station, just got spicier. Join this Thursday for a grand opening, which will feature $10 margaritas, $10 guac, and 50% off all beer. Afterwards, make it even more special with a visit to Jeremiah’s Italian Ice or Old Europe Desserts.

Four

This Monday, Greer is hosting its annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. at Greer City Hall. For only $10 per ticket, join for live music, a catered meal, and a message from NFL football star Woodrow Dantzler III. The ceremony will also highlight various individuals in the community. After the ceremony, grab a hot coffee from Barista Alley or Flying Fox to stroll through beautiful Greer park.

FIve

The West End Winter Farmers Market officially has a new name: The Buzzy Bee Farmer’s Market. Check out this adorable little shopping area on Sundays from 12pm-4pm in Greenville, SC. And if it’s too cold for you to stay outdoors for long, take a break at nearby New Realm Brewing Co. for a warm drink. This market is fresh, hip, and buzzing with activity!
