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.

One

Having just opened in April 2025, Wild Yarrow Brewing is a relatively new bar in Greenville, SC, that is seeking to make a name for itself. They take pride in using local ingredients, such as fruit, herbs, and flowers, so that individuals can appreciate the natural flavors of the Upstate. Additionally, this Friday they are hosting a pop up featuring Banh & Butter, a restaurant which serves delicious Vietnamese dishes. Live acoustic entertainment from Mark Humphries will be provided. Check out Greenville’s local talent; it may just be your next favorite spot.

Make your weekend “golden” by attending Fall for KPop this Friday at Camperdown Plaza. There will be a dance party, kpop games, a pumpkin decorating contest, and a vendor market. This free community event is from 7-10pm, no registration required. Loose yourself in the music and dance like no one is watching.

Three

There’s a reason that the Greenville Craft Beer Festival has been recognized as “the upstate’s premier craft beer festival.” With more than 100 beer selections from local breweries, there are so many flavors to sample. Sit back and relax with cornhole, Jumbo Jengo, and college football. Additionally, enjoy live music from Tyler Dodson and Spencer Gray. Tickets start at $23. Join from 12pm-5pm on Flour Field this Saturday for a great time.

Escape the holiday shopping crowds by shopping early and local: the 2025 Simpsonville Holiday Fair is back! It will feature more than 100 local vendors, selling unique treasures that cannot be found anywhere else. Shop from 8am-3pm with free admission. All vendor fees will be donated toward local charities, and canned goods will be accepted as well. Don’t leave shopping for the last minute. Make it a sweet time of strolling Simpsonville’s streets in search of the perfect presents.

Happy Birthday, PKL Park! Come celebrate their one year anniversary with festive activities. There will be a cake cutting, live bands, face painting, raffles, and food/drink specials. And of course, there’s always the pickleball courts that are available for rent, if you’re feeling sporty. Come see why PKL Park is rising in popularity in Greenville, SC.
