LOVE AN INSIDE SCOOP?
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.
History should be both informative and wildly entertaining. After all, who doesn’t love stories? That’s why Chautauqua’s History Comes Alive Festival is such a raving success every year. This year, hear from talented performers as they pay tribute to Albert Einstein, Lucille Ball, Josephine Baker, and Babe Ruth, telling their stories with animated gusto. Performances will be held inside during the day and outside during the evenings in Greenville, Spartanburg, and Brevard. Note: Please reserve your spots online for indoor shows, and bring your own lawn chair for outdoor shows. Check the link below for more detailed information regarding showtimes. Be on the lookout for Chautauqua’s essential question: Does the character’s image match the truth?
