You don’t have to spend a lot of money to transform your living space into an oasis. You just need inspiration and a little expert advice. Visit Greenville’s Southern Home and Garden Show for DIY demonstrations and showcases that will have you updating your spaces in no time. Learn more about garden containers, organization systems, lawn care, and home projects! Additionally, be inspired by designed rooms, cooking demonstrations, and items from their Artisan Market. Adult tickets are $8 each, and parking is $10 per car at the Greenville Convention Center.
Let’s get ready to rumble! The Greenville Drive welcomes you to its First Pitch Invitational, a collegiate baseball tournament at Flour Field. Witness the Michigan State Spartans face off against the College of Charleston Cougars, and many more teams! They’ve got the passion, the talent, and the drive; see them hit the ball out of the park while enjoying a soft pretzel and soft drink. It’s one of the best ways to spend the weekend in Greenville, SC.


Sum Bar and Restaurant is worth a visit not only because of its tasty dumplings and cocktails, but also because of their unique events. Located conveniently right on Washington St. in downtown Greenville, Sum Bar is the perfect meeting spot for friends, couples, and families. Check out their Lunar New Year Festival on March 1st for a cultural celebration of the ages. There will be lion dances, local vendors, and children's activities galore.
If watching the Olympics has inspired you and you’re ready to compete for the gold, check out PKL Games for an adult field day. On Saturday, 16 teams of 6 players will compete in challenges like pickleball, dodgeball, sac racing, and more, to become ultimate champions. Tickets are $200 per team ($33.50 per person). Individuals must be 21 and up to play!


If you were inspired by Mrs. Banks during her “Sister Suffragette” solo in Mary Poppins, you may just like the musical Suffs. This Tony Award winning musical focuses on the fight to vote for women in the 19th century. The BroadwayWorld San Francisco calls it “A production that is just as powerful and relevant as its Broadway debut.” Tickets start at $71.50. It’ll have you saying, “Well done, Sister Suffragette”!
