One

New year, new experiences. Flavor the new year with a visit to a local restaurant, and enjoy deals during Restaurant Week Greenville 2026. This statewide initiative lasts from January 8th-18th, and is an 11 day event that will include hundreds of participating restaurants. No matter your price range or cuisine﹘ think Mexican, American, Italian, Greek, French, etc., Restaurant Week has got the deals. Additionally, there are several 3 course options that range from $20-75, making it perfect for a date night or special occasion. Bon appetit!

Magic is out there. Experience it during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in Concert at the Peace Center this January 10th-11th. Patrick Doyle’s score, performed by the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, will give you chills… in a good way. Individuals of all ages are invited to the Wizarding World, where a preteen Harry Potter and friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley navigate wonky classes, deadly challenges, and heartbreak. Tickets start at $42.

Elevate your next date night or party with an elegant venue: Greenbrier Farms. This family-owned farm in Greenville, SC, often hosts weddings and special events, but it is also open to the public for Thursday Night Pizza Nights. Pizzas are baked over a wood fire with only the freshest of ingredients. Beer, wine, and non alcoholic drinks are also available for purchase. It’s a sweet place to make new memories in the new year.

It’s easy to join the art scene in Greenville, SC. For example, Spoonbill Gallery, Greenville’s newest art gallery, is hosting Mocktails & Masterpieces this Friday night, where individuals can peruse new pieces while sipping non alcoholic drinks. Discover a community of art lovers and enjoy the fruit of someone else's labor… for free!

It’s a house on wheels; what’s not to love? The Greenville RV Show is the largest of its kind in SC, and it's happening this weekend, January 8th-11th. Come check out various RV models from the comfort of the Greenville Convention Center. Admission is $5 per adult and $10 for parking.
