Check out The Local 5
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.
The heat is on. If you’re a sports fan, you need to check out the Downtown Doubleheader Package that’s being offered for this Saturday. Get two sporting events instead of one! For $40, you can attend a 3:00pm Swamp Rabbit game, and then a 6:45pm Greenville Drive game. Plus you’ll receive 20% off at Lefty’s Tavern and a commemorative pennant. We love our Greenville sports, and you will, too!
Let the music move you at the Mauldin Blues and Jazz Festival this weekend. This Saturday, join from 4-9pm for a free concert at the Mauldin Outdoor Amphitheater, and see groups/artists like Absinthe Minded, Alex Kramer, Ping Rose, Zach Person, and the Greenville Jazz Youth Ensemble. Bring your lawn chair or blanket for a cozy setup and grab dinner at a nearby food truck. Enjoy a night out under the stars.
From now until May 3rd, you’re invited to a Greenville Theatre production of the classic Steel Magnolias. Enter a beauty salon, a world of southern charm and gossip, to meet characters like M’Lynn, Shelby, and Truvy as they navigate love and turmoil. Tickets are only $35. It’ll have you saying, “Bless your heart.”
Do you ever just… want to destroy property with a baseball bat? Well, now you can, legally, thanks to The Mad Smash. Visit this trendy “rage room” in Taylors, SC, for a memorable date night, friends night, or solo workshop. After selecting a weapon and suiting up, you can choose to utterly decimate a car or other breakable item. You may also be interested in their splatter painting room or 3 hour workshops. Workshops include classes like “Smashing Limitations” and “What is Your Passion?” Ticket prices vary on which room you would like to visit, so be sure to visit their website for more information. Happy smashing.
If you enjoyed watching the 2026 Winter Olympics, you should definitely check out the Stars on Ice 2026 Tour. Witness your favorite Olympic champions like Alysa Liu, Ilia Maulinin, Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Isabeau Levito, Amber Glenn, Jason Brown, and more, as they strut their stuff and come alive on the ice. The Bon Secours Wellness Arena will host this event on April 21st at 7pm. Tickets start at $26. Opportunities like this do not come around often, so why not step into the arena and be inspired by their passion? USA! USA!
