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.
EarthFest 2025 is all about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and promoting a greener Greenville. Head out to Pangea Brewing Company from 9am-6:30pm for an entire day of free, family friendly activities like a fun run, yoga, pickleball, painting, gardening, recycling, and more. Shop for local treasures from more than 60 local vendors while enjoying live music from 9 different bands. With weather this fair, it’s too nice to spend the weekend indoors anyway.
You don’t even need 80 days to travel the world; you can be transported to other countries at the Greer Goes Global International Festival. Join from 11am-5pm for a cultural celebration, full of indigenous foods, music, and performances. There will be drumming, belly dancing, bagpipes, saxophones, and much, much more. The International Festival is an annual tradition for this corner of the Upstate, a beloved celebration of culture and community.
Let your culinary palate be inspired during Euphoria Spring Fest 2025. Sign up for classes like “Sip Into Spring,” “Raise a Glass, Shuck a Shell,” and “Roast and Toast” where you can learn from culinary experts and/or sit back and enjoy culinary delicacies (depending on the class).

Experience euphoria by immersing yourself in a world of flavors and textures whilst in good company.
