If you get tired from dancing, stop by an available food truck for Southern and international cuisine. Kick off Saturday with a Second Line parade and end the day with a smile. Join in a cultural celebration that will have you swinging to the rhythm in the streets.
If you could time travel back to the past to hear from historical icons like Edgar Allan Poe or Mother Jones, would you do it? This weekend at the Chautauqua History Comes Alive Festival, hear fascinating, true stories from the past that will inspire and thrill you. Performances will be held inside during the day and outside during the evenings in Greenville and Spartanburg.

Winston Churchhill once said, “No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.” If you know a child that would love the opportunity to get in the saddle, then you should check out Summer Camp at Eden Farms.

Then, at the end of the week, family members are invited to a horse show finale. What a fun way to spend summer break!
