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.
Shakespeare is not just for English class; it’s for everyone. For more than 25 years, The Warehouse Theater has been bringing Shakespeare’s works to life. This year’s festival, which is held outside in beautiful Falls Park, will be The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Join for a spellbinding comedy that focuses on the power of friendship, love, and dramatic irony. Shows run Thursday- Sunday from July 3rd to July 27th. This is a free community event! Be sure to bring picnic chairs or a blanket for seating and arrive early if you would like a seat close to the stage. No vendors will be in attendance so it is highly encouraged that individuals pack picnic dinners for the two hour shows or stop by one of Greenville’s beloved restaurants either before or after the show.
Enjoy a luxurious day at the pool this weekend, brought to you by Hotel Domestique and Restaurant 17. From 12pm-6pm, indulge in all you can eat BBQ and sides. It’s not your average BBQ; Chef Haydn Shaak, winner of the 2024 SC Chef Ambassador, is passionate about creating unique culinary experiences with only the freshest local ingredients. It’s sure to be a feast! Additionally, beer, wine, liquor, and non alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. Tickets start at $85.
This summer has been hot, hot, hot; it’s time to cool off at the lake this Fourth of July weekend. Enjoy a live DJ, rental deals, snacks, and floating bar, just 15 minutes from downtown Greenville. Prices are relatively affordable: General Admission is $15, a VIP Pass is $25, and a Weekend Float Pass is $50. Discounted rentals will be offered and everyone is invited to participate in the free raffle! Explore one of Greenville’s hidden gems, a paradise with scenic views and good vibes.
Mauldin’s new favorite downtown, Bridge City Station, is throwing an epic July 5th party from 2-10pm. Rock out to live music and maybe even hit the dance floor. Kids will love the bounce houses, face painting, and visits from special guests like Captain America and Wonder Woman. Cap off the night with a spectacular fireworks show. Who says July 4th should get all the fun?
What would you do if you were stuck on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, and a Royal Bengal tiger? Most people would have never considered the question, if not for the epic novel Life of Pi, which has sold more than 15 million copies. Experience the show like never before this season at the Peace Center, running this July 8th- 13th. The Wall Street Journal calls it, “an exhilarating evening of theater,” thanks to its epic visuals and “world class puppetry.” Witness a tale of perseverance, faith, and grit, in the face of harrowing adversity. Tickets are on sale now, starting at $39.00.
