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.
This Independence Day weekend, celebrate in Simpsonville with a free concert featuring Edwin McCain, Parmalee, and DJ Sha. In 1998, the hit classic “I’ll Be” rocked the nation, and now you can hear McCain’s top hits LIVE. At CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park, the gates will open at 5:30; be sure to bring blankets, folding chairs, and snacks, unless you’d prefer to purchase festive food and beverages on site. Fireworks will commence at 9:30pm. Be sure to rep your red, white, and blue!
Party like it’s 1776 Fluor Field’s Freedom Fest in Greenville, SC. There’s something for everyone: field games, inflatables, face painting, balloon twisting, pickleball, cornhole, and even a splash zone for kiddos. Watch and cheer on your favorite competitor during the hot dog eating contest. Dance to live music from a DJ, and sample tasty treats from local vendors. At 7:30pm, check out an outside showing of The Sandlot before fireworks begin (at 9:30pm). Happy 4th!
Picture this: you’re relaxing in a giant inner tube, floating on a scenic lake with your feet propped up. Life is good. Make this dream a reality during Saluda Lake Landing’s Independence Day Float-A-Palooza. From 12pm-6pm, enjoy lakeside food, drinks, and music (from DJ Robb). Tickets range from $5-$20 depending on age and activity. Explore one of Greenville’s hidden gems, a paradise with scenic views and good vibes.
It’s a party in the U.S.A! Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary at BridgeWay Station from 2pm-10pm. Sample tasty BBQ and treats from their Red, White & BBQ market, and be sure to check out BridgeWay Brewing Co. for a craft drink. Kids will love the firetruck splash zone and inflatables, while adults will love the live music. Parking is $10. See for yourself why BridgeWay is known to throw a good party.
Clap your hands and move your feet to the beat of classic ‘60s tunes during Beehive: The ‘60’s Musical. Visit Center Stage in Greenville, SC, until July 12 for a colorful and whimsical show that will feature hits like “Respect,” “My Girl,” and “Downtown.” In addition to a joyous soundtrack, the show will have authentic costumes and pristine choreography. Tickets start at $36.50. You’re invited to the party!
