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.

It’s showtime. This weekend, check out Greenville’s 11th annual Reedy Reels Film Festival for never-before-seen documentaries and short films. In addition to features, there will also be Q&As and panels for meaningful engagement with the content creators. The SC Children’s Theatre will kick off this weekend-long festival with a special Prologue Soiree fundraiser. Ticket prices depend on the session attended; see the link below for further details.
Greenville’s Kroc Center goes all out for their annual Easter Egg Hunt and Spring Open House. Children ages 1-12 are invited to a free egg hunt at the Kroc Soccer Field. Please note, participants must have a signed waiver prior to participating. Bags will be provided, but you may bring your own. Then, check out the Open House from 5-7pm, which will include open basketball and a Dive in Movie. (Enjoy a showing of Peter Rabbit next to the swimming pool). Pizza and drink concessions will be available for purchase to make dinner a breeze. What a cheap way to have fun in Greenville with kids!


Strolling through downtown Greenville can be extra special this Sunday thanks to an Easter Bunny Party at Camperdown Plaza. Children ages 2-10 can search for Easter eggs and take photos with a special bunny visitor. Additionally, adults will love the live music from the Andrew Crocker Duo, drink specials, and chill atmosphere. Hoppy Easter!
When Monty Navarro discovers that he is eighth in line to inherit a massive fortune, he decides to take fate into his own hands… by knocking out his competition one at a time. Center Stage will host this Tony award winning musical, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, from March 19th-April 4th. Tickets start at $36.50 and a military discount is available. Come for the murder…stay for the love.


Arguably, the Conestee Nature Playscape is Greenville’s most unique playground. Forget plastic; this playground was created from natural building materials like wood, stone, and water. Children can splash in streams, climb trees, build forts and nests, and enjoy the great outdoors. This playground is free, but a $3 donation is suggested to keep the park running. In an overstimulating world, this park is a breath of fresh air.
