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

If you like to get fancy, you’ll love Euphoria—Greenville’s biggest food, wine, and music festival. Check the schedule online to pick from culinary demonstrations, wine tastings, live music, and more, taking places at various places around Greenville. Tickets range from $50-550. Most events have sold out, but there’s a few that are not yet full, and well worth the visit, like Party in the Park and Feast By the Field. Try tasty morsels from professional chefs, enjoy live music, and have a great time unwinding in downtown Greenville.

Two

No one could have predicted the catastrophic chain of events that would transpire on April 15th, 1912—the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Who was lost that day? What were their stories? The Greenville Theatre is attempting to bring their stories to life during Titanic the Musical, running from 9/17-9/27. Witness a story of courage and hope, memorializing an unforgettable moment in history. Tickets are $45.

Three

A silent disco sounds like it shouldn’t work, but somehow, it actually rocks. Check it out at Bridgeway Station on Friday, with tickets ranging from $10-20. Change the volume or the station on your personal headphones, all while dancing like no one is watching. It’s the ultimate dance party experience. Proceeds will benefit Adoption Helpers, a nonprofit that provides respite care for foster and adoptive families. Good music, great fun, and a great cause—what’s not to love?

Four

Looking for a fun night out with the whole family? The SC Children’s Theatre is performing an adaptation of James and the Giant Peach in Greenville from September 18th- October 4th. Tickets are $25. Witness a whimsical story of bravery and imagination, based on the book by Roald Dahl. Where else would you see a story about a brave boy and his insect friends sailing through oceans in a giant peach?

FIve

Not many people know that the American rock band, NEEDTOBREATHE, is actually from Seneca, SC, and next week, they’re returning to the area. Sing along with them during The Long Surrender Tour in Greenville, SC, this coming Sunday. It will feature their classic mix of Americana, Southern roots, and Chritsian themes, as well as special guests Drew & Ellie Holcomb. Tickets start at $40.30. Tap your feet and sing along to hits like “Brother,” “Multiplied,” and Washed By the Water.”
