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

If you haven’t already, you’ll truly Fall for Greenville at their annual foodie event, which will run from October 9th-12th this year. Fall for Greenville will highlight more than 60 restaurants and over 80 musical artists. Additionally, sample from more than 50 beer taps and wine selections. Chefs will provide educational demonstrations and cooking tips for the public, too. For the first time, this event will be ticket-less; instead cards will be accepted in order to make transactions easier. For parking, the city garage rate will be reduced to 5$. If looking for a free parking option, individuals can park at Greenville High School, and a trolley will transport them to the festival.
