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.

Before feasting on roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, pies, and cookies this Thanksgiving Day, get out and get active with a Turkey Day Run in Greenville, SC. Two races will be offered: a 5K and an 8K. Tickets are $40 for adults and $20 for children (10 and under). The races will pass by iconic downtown spots such as Falls Park and the Greenville Zoo. This year, proceeds will benefit TreesUpstate, an organization that protects trees in our area. So get out there and strut your stuff!
Attending a Thanksgiving Feast in the Antlers Ballroom is like stepping into a fantasy; picture Beauty and the Beast. Imagine high ceilings, stunning views, and generous portions of Thanksgiving meats and sides, all in one place. Being together has never felt so… fancy. Tickets are $75 per adult and $35 per child. While you are there, be sure to check out the bar Spirit and Bower or the art gallery. It’s a once in a lifetime experience.


Make your Thanksgiving sizzle this year with a delicious meal from Chophouse ‘47. No cooking required! For $245, receive an 8 person feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, herb stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, gravy, cranberry sauce, and cornbread. It’s all the classic foods with none of the work. Add a bourbon pecan pie for only $40. Veterans and active military will receive a 50% discount and heartfelt gratitude. Chophouse ‘47 is just one more thing to be thankful for this holiday season.
How many ways are there to decorate a Christmas tree, really? Find out at the Bon Secours Festival of Trees, running from November 21- December 25 in Greenville, SC. Every year, members from the community decorate over 50 festive Christmas trees and display them in the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott Downtown and Hyatt Regency Greenville. Viewing is free at any time. Swing by with friends or family for a magical time!


If you are searching to create a new holiday tradition with your family, you need to check out The Nutcracker Tea in Greenville, SC.
