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.
"Open the gates and seize the day!" The iconic musical, Newsies, is playing at the Youth Center in Fountain Inn September 11th-26th. Based on the 1899 Newsboys’ Strike, it describes a time when, “the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of newsies... Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army without a leader, until one day all that changed." Set to catchy music and electric choreography, watch as the youth of New York rise up against their corrupt bosses and find their voices. Tickets are on sale now, $15 for students and $20 for adults.
Who doesn’t love some sweet, Southern BBQ? This weekend, visit Flour Field at the West End for a peak culinary experience. Friday will feature the Anything Butt Contest, where chefs will present culinary temptations for sale, all except BBQ. Then on Saturday, individuals can sample BBQ ($2) to their hearts’ content and vote for a winner. For maximum fun, there will also be a Kids Zone and live music! Proceeds will benefit Project Host, a nonprofit that helps to fight food insecurity in Greenville. Come hungry, and help the hungry.
Get cozy at The Nest, a space “built for connections, community, and casual gatherings.” This welcoming venue is set up right along the Swamp Rabbit Trail! It features Food Truck Fridays, line dancing, and occasional pop-ups. On Food Truck Fridays, the food truck schedule rotates, but Sip Back N Time is always there for a tasty new drink. Come out this Friday for live music from Andrew Wooten, starting at 6pm. Come see what the tourists love about Traveler’s Rest!
The air turned crisp and cool this week; Fall is officially here. Celebrate the occasion with a trip to Autumnfest at the Greenville Farmers Market. Forget plastic decor; freshen up your space for Fall via fresh pumpkins, plants, flowers, and handcrafted items. Additionally, agricultural experts from Clemson will be on site to help answer all your gardening questions. Parking and entry is free. Pick out a sweet treat, or even a pumpkin for your front door!
Whether you’re in a funk or having the best day of your life, the blues understands. Let the music lead you to Blues Boulevard Jazz, a new music venue in Greenville, SC. Check them out Thursday-Sunday for live acts, specialty drinks, and menu options. Additionally, there are alternative music performances throughout the week. Check their schedule online to see the week’s schedule and reserve your seats today.
