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.

One

Prepare to be amazed! Ringling’s Greatest Show on Earth is making an appearance in Greenville this weekend. Their world-renowned stunt artists and performers will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering, “What will they come up with next?” Tickets start at $31 and are on sale now. Come see this 146-year-old circus, which continues to adapt and change through the years to appeal to all viewers, young and experienced.

Two

At Lunch, Uncorked, you can sit back and enjoy a great meal right smack in the middle of M Judson’s Booksellers. Chef Teryi Youngblood will be preparing a four course meal, and expounding upon the stories that inspired her Bookstore Kitchen cookbook. Tickets are $85 and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the charity Local Boys Do Good. Bon apetit.

Three

The death of humans in movies or plays is sad enough, but the death of a dog? Ultimate tragedy. In the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, 15 year old Christopher must investigate the murder of his neighbor’s dog. He must use his factual, mathematical brain to clear his name, attempting to make sense of the world along the way. Centre Stage will be performing this beloved story from February 5th-8th. Tickets are on sale now for $35.

Four

You know those old VCR’s in your grandma’s basement? Turns out they’re not junk. They’re actually vintage. At the GVL Vintage Market, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Treasure hunt for free from 12pm-5pm at Camperdown Plaza on February 7th. Make the occasion even sweeter with a visit to Insomnia Cookie or Jenny’s Icecream. Happy hunting!

FIve

At Other Lands, a neighborhood brewery and cafe, they seek to provide a slow, serene experience. They offer coffee, beer, and a fully stocked kitchen. They are also super intentional about planning community events. For example, once a month they host Little Lands, an afternoon of special activities and crafts planned for kids. This Saturday it will be Superbowl themed; you won’t want to miss it!
