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.
Sooie! Mauldin’s Annual Cook Off is back and better than ever. Join Friday night from 6-9pm for the Anything Butt competition, where cooks offer up southern delicacies like sliders, smoked chicken, and mouth watering sides (anything but bbq). Then on Saturday from 11-3, come judge from over 20 stations of uniquely crafted bbq. Tickets are $5 for 5 tickets. Enjoy live music from Trey Duncan on Friday and Cody Gentry & Pine Mountain on Saturday. Relax in their backyard oasis, enjoy outdoor games, and take little ones to the Kids Zone for free, fun activities. Entry is free!
In a world dominated by international and mass produced goods, there’s a growing belief that the most cherished items in life are those that are crafted locally and by hand. Shop local this weekend at the Indie Craft Parade at Judson Mill. This two day event will include more than 100 sellers, a craft station, and a photo booth. Find handmade items such as pottery, leather products, art, jewelry, toys, and more! Tickets range from $5 to $65, depending on the day and time. Children 16 and under are free on Saturday and Sunday. Local treasures are waiting!
This Saturday, celebrate health and wellness with like minded individuals at Greenville’s Fit Fest at Flour Field. This free community event will feature group workouts, live music, vendors, raffles, and more. There will also be an optional 5k for $15 to end the day strong. All proceeds will benefit the March of Dimes. Looking for a more inclusive experience? Check out their VIP passes, which include air conditioned lounges, snacks, drinks, and a special gift bag. There’s no better way to get out there!
Get ready for a scary good time at Madworld’s Haunted Attraction in Greenville, SC. Chalked full of clowns, witches, and zombies, there's a reason it was voted "Scariest Haunted House in South Carolina." Whether you’re a newbie or a returner, it will be a new experience in that Madworld has added “new scenes, more actors, new scares, and new family entertainment.” Not into the scary stuff? Feel free to tag along with friends in order to participate in fall themed activities like mini golf, ax throwing, and live entertainment. Enjoy Madworld every weekend from 9/12-11/1… if you dare.
You don’t need to attend a wedding to enjoy a luxurious party in a classy venue with excellent food. Larkin’s Sip-tember Feast offers a delicious 5 course catered meal at the Historic Hampton House 1908. This refurbished Southern mansion is the perfect spot for catching up with old friends, enjoying a date night, or relaxing solo. Tickets are $135. Bon appetit!
