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.
You don’t have to wait until the 31st for epic trick-or-treating! This Friday, GE Vernova Park, South Carolina’s newest stadium, is hosting a free Halloween party packed with entertainment, candy, costumes, and more! There will also be a designated Kids Zone, plus specialty food and drinks available for purchase. Admission and parking are both FREE — all that’s missing is you!
Trick or treat! There’s no sweeter time to wander through downtown Greenville than on Halloween. Come out this Saturday for free trick or treating from local businesses from 10am-3pm. All 50 participating establishments will be marked by a green pumpkin, so keep your eyes peeled. The streets will be flooded with princesses, heroes, bears, firefighters, and more. What will you wear?
Tiny pirates, pint-sized princesses, and superheroes roam the streets of Travelers Rest on Halloween night. Bring the kids downtown for an evening of trick-or-treating, games, face painting, and plenty of candy! While you’re out, pop into one of Traveler’s Rests’ many cute boutiques, such as Birdie Boutique or the Silver Lily Boutique. Or, find a treasure at Miss B. Haven Antiques. This annual event will run from 6-8pm and is free to the public.
Is there a more beloved fictional detective than Hercule Poirot? This neat, Belgian man and his “little grey cells” have long captured the admiration of readers and viewers. See Poirot in action this weekend during a live show of Murder of the Orient Express at the Greenville Theatre. In it, Hercule must solve an impossible murder, one in which the doors were locked from the inside at the time. Tickets start at $40. Based on the best seller by Agatha Christie and adaptation by Ken Ludwig, audiences will be spellbound, just in time for Halloween.
Visiting Greenville on Halloween? Of course, you’ll want to trick-or-treat on Main Street, but why stop there? Afterward, head to Gather GVL for even more Halloween fun. Enjoy seasonal food and drinks, festive activities, a costume contest, and free candy from participating vendors. You can also admire the creatively decorated shipping containers that give Gather GVL its unique charm. Adults can join in the fun, too, with two Halloween bar crawls running from 2–10 p.m. Whether you’re trick-or-treating with the kids or enjoying a drink with friends, Gather GVL is a great place to extend your Halloween festivities.
