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.

One

Because last week’s Restaurant Week was such a hit, it has been extended until January 26th! Check out the restaurants at Table 301: Soby’s, NOSE DIVE, The Lazy Goat, CAMP, Tavola and Lefty’s West End Tavern, for unbelievable deals in downtown Greenville. For example, Lefty’s West End Tavern is offering a 3 course meal for only $21. There’s no time like the present to try out a new spot and get the most bang for your buck.

Two

Even if you haven't heard the name “Brett Young,” you’ve probably heard his songs on the radio. With hits like “In Case You Didn’t Know” and “Lady,” he has quickly gained worldwide notoriety, and now, this superstar is performing at the Peace Center this weekend. He will be joined by special guest: Jenna Davis. Tickets are on sale now for $50, and individuals can purchase an additional Meet and Greet pass, too. You may not have a “Ticket to L.A.” but with visiting stars like him, you don’t even need one.

Three

These days, most malls are somewhat deserted… but not the Haywood Mall! She’s still going strong and providing a safe, clean place to shop. Check out the mall this Saturday from 12-2pm for a Winter Wonderland, featuring festive activities like face painting, balloon twisting, and inflatables. There will also be meet and greets with Elsa, Ana, and Olaf. Got the winter blues? Let it go… with a trip to the mall.

Four

Wedding planning can be… a lot. To say the least. Simplify it with a trip to Wedding Festivals at the Greenville Convention Center. Owners Marc and Colleen Wheeler have 36 years of experience producing bridal shows, and they know just what weddings need to make the day run smoothly. Get inspiration for cake, flowers, gowns, and more from 10am-2pm. Parking is $10 but the event itself is free.

FIve

In a world of leather jackets vs. khakis, S.E. Hinton’s classic novel “The Outsiders” highlighted what it meant to “stay gold” in a dark, mature world. Fall in love with the story all over again at the Peace Center from January 27th-February 1st. This version is a four time Tony Award winning musical, with all the hair from Grease, but with a much better message. Tickets start at $88.
