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.
Greenville’s Flour Field is the perfect spot for a block party. See why at the Mill Village Night Market this weekend, where individuals will find 20+ local vendors, food trucks, beer and wine, and children’s activities. Devon Scott will serenade the crowd with Jazz, producing a chill environment for a Friday night. On Saturday, the block party really kicks off with their R&D Music Experience and free shaved ice. Additionally, enjoy “$100 off ALL BIKES at Village Wrench,” this weekend only. Not only can you learn more about this faith-based, non-profit, but you can have a great night, too!
Greenville’s First Friday gallery openings have always been fun, but now they have even more razzle dazzle because the West Village has added a VilLive Art & Music Fest at the beginning of each month. The next festival will be held on 09/04 (from 5pm-9pm) and 09/05 (from 1pm-7pm). Friday’s festival will kick off with a local market and food vendors, and Saturday’s festival will expand to include a live band, beer garden, and kids zone. The first weekend in September will highlight the following performers: Rick Standridge, Henry’s Pocket, Iliana Rose Band, and the James Tucker Band. Shop for cute art in a super walkable area, and support local!
Not all heroes wear capes… but sometimes they do! Race into action at the SC Superheroes In Motion event near Greenville, SC, this Labor Day weekend. Whether you’re participating in the 5K ($35), 1 Mile Fun Run ($15), or Virtual 5K ($35), you are running for a good cause because proceeds will benefit the SC Spinal Cord Injury Association. There will be prizes and lots of runners dressed in their best superhero attire. Just wait until the endorphins kick in; just like Captain America, you’ll be saying: “I can do this all day.”
Beats, Brews, & The Bridgeway Block Party isn’t your typical 5K; that’s because it is a 3K, divided into 3 1K laps that are spaced out in 45 minute increments. This means that that lap #1 will take off at 11am, lap #2 will take off at 11:45am, and lap #3 will take off at 12:30pm. Between each lap, individuals can enjoy the block party at Bridgeway Station, stopping to drink, chat, and enjoy the music. Tickets are $10 for the race alone, and $25 for the race plus 3 beers. Cheers!
On select Wednesdays from August 5th-October 7th, Family Flicks are returning to Bridgeway Station. Watch movies under the stars for free with family or friends, and maybe even get a treat to go with it from Old Europe Desserts or Jeremiah’s Italian Ice. They will be playing Paddington on September 9th, Over the Hedge on September 23rd, and Encanto on October 7th. Don’t wait till the weekend to get out and have fun; shake it up on a Wednesday to make the workweek go by even faster.
