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 Friday night, the Greenville Drive will face off against the Spartanburgers, but the real star of the show is you… if you are a part of the hospitality/tourism industry that is. This Friday’s game will be dedicated to individuals in this field and celebratory fireworks will be set ablaze after the game. Tickets start at $11, and seats are selling out fast!
May the force be with you this May 2nd during Star Wars Return of the Jedi In Concert. Experience this classic film like never before, with a live music accompaniment from the Greenville Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Thiago Tiberio will lead the concert at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, starting at 7pm. Tickets start at $43. Come see how “Rebellions are built on hope.”
You’ve never seen a race like this! On Saturday, 14,000 rubber ducks will flood the Reedy River, navigate the Falls, and cross the finish line during Greenville’s 22nd Annual Duck Derby. Anyone can adopt a duck online to race on their behalf in order to win prizes. There will be more than 30 prizes to win this year, and the biggest one is Groceries for a Year, thanks to Publix. Enjoy racing or watching; either way, this event is sure to ruffle some feathers.
Satisfy your cravings during Greenville’s 30th Annual Taste of the Upstate: Traditions with a Twist competition. Talented local chefs will be competing for 6 awards with their mouthwatering dishes, and participants will get to sample and vote on their favorites. Award categories include: “Best Sweet Dish Award,” “Best Savory Dish Award,” “Best Tablescape Award,” and more. Live entertainment will be provided by Rhythm Jam, a professional group of vocalists and musicians who specialize in multiple genres and decades of music. Eat, drink, and be merry, for as Julia Child once said, “People who love to eat are always the best people.”
