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.
“Don’t Stop Believin’” that good music is still out there! The American rock band Journey is bringing its Final Frontier Tour 2026 to Greenville, SC, this Saturday night. It’s true that Steve Perry’s vocals helped Journey rise to fame, but founding member Neal Schon and lead vocalist Arnel Pineda are still keeping the band's legendary sound alive. Tickets start at $107. Get ready for a night of classic rock and a journey unlike any other.
Do you like to laugh? Head to Alchemy Comedy Theater this weekend for their 13th Annual New South Comedy Festival. There will be hundreds of shows this November & December, featuring stand-ups, improv, and musical comedy performers. Ticket prices vary, so be sure to check the schedule online. Happy viewing!
If you’re traveling to the Upstate this season, consider adding a 5K to your holiday plans! The Run Turkey Run 5K/Walk is a great way to get outside, get active, and support a good cause. Proceeds benefit the Greenville Free Medical Clinic, which provides healthcare to families in need. The race takes place at beautiful Conestee Park from 9 a.m. to noon. Every registrant will receive a T-shirt, turkey socks, and a finisher medal. After crossing the finish line, stick around for face painting and live music from a DJ. Tickets are $40. Gobble up the miles, then head home for a well-deserved Thanksgiving feast!
With Halloween behind us, it's officially Christmas shopping season! Find the perfect gifts for your loved ones during Augusta Street's annual Holiday Open House in Greenville, SC. Participating businesses will be spreading Christmas cheer with visits from Santa, hot cocoa, sweet treats, special sales, raffles, and more. Take a stroll down Augusta Street this Sunday from 1–5 p.m., shop local, and soak up the Yuletide spirit!
When the weather turns chilly, you know it's time for a chili cook-off! Greer Alive and the Greer Farmers Market are teaming up this Sunday afternoon for a Chili Cookoff Fundraiser. For just $1 per sample, you can taste up to 16 different varieties of chili and vote for your favorite. Once you've had your fill, browse more than 45 vendor booths featuring local produce, handmade goods, baked treats, and more. Stick around for live music, food trucks, and plenty of chill(i) vibes!
