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.
If you’ve never been to Gather Greenville, Greenville’s trendy outside food hall, you should check them out this weekend for two unique events. Join Friday night for Family Fun Day from 4pm- 9pm. There will be board games, lawn games, and an epic unveiling of their new Kids Zone. Join on Saturday to celebrate their 6th anniversary. There will be live music from Randomonium, birthday cake, and $6 specials. Pig out on fresh sushi, European comfort food, zesty tacos, ice cream and so much more, and then enjoy the event’s free activities. There’s a reason that it’s been voted in the Top 10 of Food Halls in America for 3 consecutive years (USA Today). See for yourself!
In 1950, C.S. Lewis introduced the world to a magical realm involving a lion, a witch, and a wardrobe. The Logos Theatre is performing its own adaptation of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from 2/18-3/28. In the play, the Penvensie siblings must fight to free the realm of Narnia from an eternal winter and evil queen, by following the Lion King. Tickets start at $67.50. Whether you’re going out solo, with family, or with friends, it’s sure to be a pleasant viewing experience.
Sum Bar and Restaurant is worth a visit not only because of its tasty dumplings and cocktails, but also because of their unique events. Located conveniently right on Washington St. in downtown Greenville, Sum Bar is the perfect meeting spot for friends, couples, and families. Join this Saturday night for Hot Pot night, where you can cook your own meat, seafood, veggies, and noodles in 3 different soup bases. Or, if you’re feeling artsy, check out Sunday’s Dumpling Class and/or Traditional Art Workshop. Their calendar is packed with additional events throughout the week, so be sure to check online for future events. Sum Bar really is some bar!
