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.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world” and look great while doing it! Get dressed to the nines during All Things Greenville: A Winter Social and help raise money for Jasmine Rd., a nonprofit that supports a community of over 170,000 women fighting through issues like sex trafficking and exploitation. This upscale fundraiser at Larkins restaurant will be catered by Smoke on the Water. Get to know individuals in the community, vibe to the music, and support a good cause, all at the same time. Tickets start at $78, and VIP tickets are also available for $90 (which will include a $200 swag bag). How will you make an impact this year?
While the movie industry isn’t doing so well, the theatre is still going strong, especially Mauldin Theatre Company. Check out their Legacy in Light Season Reveal Gala this Saturday from 7:30-8:30pm for an evening of live performances. The $30 tickets will also include charcuterie snacks from Gaze N Gather, a meal from Southern Way, and a drink ticket. Stay for the end, when the 2026-2027 season announcements will be made. It’s showtime.
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.
Looking for an adrenaline rush? Check out the PBR Velocity Tour this weekend for a thrilling show. Some of the best bull riders in the world will be showing out. Tickets start at $48, and VIP options will be available as well. It will have you on the edge of your seat the whole night, and wishing you could ride the bull, too.
It’s that time of year again: Animetown is back in Greenville! This annual celebration of Japanese-style animation will be taking place at the Greenville Convention Center from January 30th-February 1st. Individuals can join panel discussions and shop for unique treasures. Voice actors from Dragonball Z, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer and more will be there, ready to mingle with fans and sign autographs. Dress as your favorite character and enjoy all Animaetown has to offer.
