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.
I can’t help but agree with Thomas Augustine Daly, that “... the whole world is Irish on the Seventeenth o' March!" Don your green and 4 leaf clovers during Greenville’s Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival. This year, the parade will start at Fluor Field and end at Noma Square; if you’re downtown, it’s hard to miss. The parade will commence at 10am, but the festivities will continue until 8pm. All are invited to a bar crawl, hopping from bar to bar and enjoying live music from bands like Drop O' The Pure, Cogpad, and Randomonium. (The parade is free, and the bar crawl is $23.35 per person). Get ready to party!
Before indulging in classic corned beef, cabbage, and soda bread this St. Paddy’s Day, put some pep in your step at the Chase the Rainbow 5K/Walk. Stroll through beautiful Bridgeway Station, and afterwards, celebrate your accomplishment with a festival fit for a leprechaun. All individuals 21+ will receive a free beer so you can raise a glass. Tickets are $29. Don’t forget to wear green to add to your luck.
The witty, Tony Award winning musical Fiddler on the Roof is performing at the Greenville Theatre this weekend. Witness the story of Tevye, Golde, and their daughters as they contemplate the balance of tradition and change in their community. Tickets are $45. You won’t regret it.
Visiting the Grand Canyon is on many people’s bucket lists, but it can take a long time to plan such a trip. Get a taste of this natural wonder right here in Greenville, SC, at the Grand Canyon Suite + Rachmaninoff 2. Saturday’s concert at the Peace Center will feature Sergei Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto No. 2), Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate (Spider Brings Fire), and Ferde Grofé (The Grand Canyon Suite). This extraordinary combination of sound and images will take your breath away, in the best possible way. Tickets start at $42.90.
May your weekend be filled with Hakuna Matata, or no worries, this weekend during the Greer Children’s Theatre production of the Lion King Jr. Witness an all new cast bring lovable characters like Simba, Timon, and Pumba to life on stage. After disaster strikes, a lion prince must discover how to face his past and make changes that will alter the future of his pride. Tickets start at $17. It’s the CIRCLE OF LIFE!!
