Great literature belongs to everyone. That’s the mission behind the Upstate Shakespeare Festival, which showcases free Shakespeare plays in Greenville, SC. Visit Falls Park from July 9th- July 25th to view Two Noble Kinsmen. The show starts at 7pm, but be sure to get there early if you want a great seat. Participants are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating, as well as drinks and snacks. Alcohol is permitted with a $1 ticket and valid ID. Experience Shakespeare as it was meant to be: live.

Three

Watching the FIFA World Cup at home is fun, but watching it on the big screen is Epic! Check out BridgeWay Station’s Summer of Soccer series for the ultimate watch party. On Friday, see Spain Vs. Belgium at 3pm and on Saturday, see Norway Vs. England at 5pm. Seating is limited; chairs/blankets are encouraged. No outside food/drinks/ or fireworks will be permitted. After the game, make the evening even sweeter with a visit to Old Europe Desserts or Jeremiah’s Italian Ice. Salud!

Thomas Rhett has brought countless masterpieces like “Die a Happy Man” and “Life Changes” to the world, and therefore, has changed it for good. The man, the myth, the legend is touring in Greenville this Saturday at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The Soundtrack to Life Tour will feature Kashus Culpepper and Emily Ann Roberts. Snacks and drinks can be purchased on site. Tickets start at $32.

If you’re looking for an original way to spend a Saturday night, check out the Tryon International Equestrian Center for a thrilling jumping competition. They’ve got all kinds of family fun: horse rides, carousel rides, live music, face painting, and more. Additionally, on July 11th and July 18th, participants can purchase a Low Country Boil dinner from 4-8pm, making dinner a snap. Located less than an hour from Greenville, SC, it’s well worth the drive.
