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.
If you haven’t already, you’ll truly Fall for Greenville at their annual foodie event, which will run from October 9th-12th this year. Fall for Greenville will highlight more than 60 restaurants and over 80 musical artists. Additionally, sample from more than 50 beer taps and wine selections. Chefs will provide educational demonstrations and cooking tips for the public, too. For the first time, this event will be ticket-less; instead cards will be accepted in order to make transactions easier. For parking, the city garage rate will be reduced to 5$. If looking for a free parking option, individuals can park at Greenville High School, and a trolley will transport them to the festival. Don’t miss one of Greenville’s biggest and tastiest festivals!
Make the most of Fall with a visit to cozy Brevard, NC, during one of their Pumpkin Fest weekends. Every weekend in October, Silvermont Park is hosting a shindig that will feature live artists, food, face painting, pumpkin displays, and a Historic Mansion tour. Parking is 5$, but off site parking a block away is free. Admission is $7 for adults, and 5$ for children (above 3 years old). This event will surely be pumpkin to talk about.
Embrace Greenville’s cooler weather and enjoy the magic of Autumn at Bridgeway Station’s Fall Fest. Mauldin’s town center is hosting a fun Fall Fest this Saturday. Check out the petting zoo, live music, pumpkin patch, pumpkin painting, and other various kids’ activities. Snack on Fall themed eats and beverages. Entry is free. Enjoy!
With spooky season officially upon us, there’s no better time for a creepy Greer Ghost tour, presented by the City Heritage Museum. Choose from two paths: the Trade Street Tour “Ruffians and Scoundrels” and the Graveyard Tour “Murder and Mayhem.” Discover hidden stories and secrets behind this seemingly simple city. Individuals have the choice between 3 guides: The Ghost Whisperer, The Ghostmaster, and the Eerie Empress. Choose wisely. Tickets start at $7.
