'Tis the season to be jolly, especially during Night of Lights at Heritage Park. Join from November 21- December 31 for an incredible Christmas light extravaganza. Start at their 65 ft tall Christmas tree and then check out their 200+ unique light displays. In addition to the walk-through show, enjoy a Christmas market, bounce houses, animal rides, a petting zoo, Santa’s Village, and much more. Adult tickets are $15; child tickets are $12. (But children 4 and under are free). It’s the most wonderful time of the year; be sure to make the most of it.
If you are looking for free and fun entertainment in downtown Greenville this weekend, check out the 23rd Annual New Play Festival. On November 20th-22nd, Centre Stage will feature brand new plays from emerging playwrights. Thursday will feature “The Snallygaster” by Barry Wallace and Friday will be the “Love Language of Origin” by Michael P. Adams. Saturday will be a double feature, playing “Chrysalis” by Gwyneth Strope and “College Drop-Off” by Bonnie Metzgar. No tickets are required but please RSVP online for a head count.
Dive into one of Greenville’s favorite local restaurants: Nose Dive. They’re known for their “urban comfort food,” aiming to serve “simple, homestyle food that brings comforting thoughts of home or childhood.” Ergo, they serve classic food like burgers, fish, pasta, pie, etc., but with an emphasis on flavor and elegant plating. Both their meal and drink prices are relatively affordable, and the staff is friendly. Next time you take a stroll through downtown Greenville, pop into Nose Dive to see why they are so beloved by the locals.
Comedian Nate Bargatze is taking the world by storm. Not only did his last tour, The Be Funny Tour, sell more than 1.2 million tickets, but he is also the highest earning comedian in the world (Pollstar). And now, Bergatze is coming to Greenville this Saturday for his Big Dumb Eyes World Tour. He specializes in clean, family-friendly content, setting him apart from the crowd. Come laugh and have a great time this Saturday night.
Bring the magic of Disney to life with Disney on Ice! Beloved characters like Micky, Minnie, and Goofy will lead the way revisiting classic adventures from Toy Story, Frozen, Inside Out 2, Moana 2, and more. You’ve never been to a sing along like this.
