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.

Who likes paying full price when clothes shopping? Nobody! Stop by Judson Mill in Greenville, SC, from August 25th-29th for mega deals, where clothes are often marked 50-80% off the retail price. (Stop by on Sunday for 50% off). This 5 day sale happens twice a year, and the charity presale will benefit GirlUpGVL. Be bold and make a statement.
Get your dancing shoes on! Greenville’s favorite Latin dance festival is happening this weekend. Check out the schedule online: many instructors, musicians, DJs, and performers will be traveling to Greenville to put on fun events, like Salsa at Sunset at Camperdown Plaza on Friday night. Picture main street and Campperdown Plaza, with people of all ages, dancing under the stars. Ticket prices depend on the package selected, but tickets start at $11.63. ¡Qué chévere!


It’s unpredictable. It’s breathtaking. It’s bull riding. This weekend, check out the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Ram Challenger Series at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Some of the best riders in the world are traveling to face off against worthy bull opponents. Tickets start at $27.81 per day. You’ve never seen a show like this.
You don’t need meat to have a great meal; Chicora Alley will prove it to you with their Vegan Chef specials during the month of August. The next time you’re in downtown Greenville, swing by to try their Bahn Mi Tacos, Vegan Southwest Salad, or Tofu Plate. The key is all in marinating the tofu and seasoning it to perfection. Prices are reasonable (2 tacos for $12; plates at $16), making it a great place to stop and try something new.


The beloved rock band Goo Goo Dolls is coming to Simpsonville, SC, this Sunday at 7:30pm. John Rzeznik and Robby Takac have been dropping bangers like “Iris” and “I’m Still Here” since 1985. Check them out at the CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park, which features mostly outdoor seating and a clear bag policy. Tickets start at $33.76. Come for the nostalgia; stay for the vibes.
