Come check out SummerFest 2025 to witness never before seen documentaries, short films, and live performances. Greenville has hosted the Greenville Jewish Film Festival since 2018, but this is the first year that the festival will span through the weekend. The weekend will kick off with the musical talents of duo Zoe & Cloyd, known for their “soaring harmonies and heartfelt songwriting.” Then, individuals can enjoy a brief reception with mocktails and desserts, followed by the short film Days Between Rest. The weekend will culminate with screenings of documentaries Welcome to Yiddishland and The Muses of Bashevis Singer. Tickets range from $14 to $25. Enjoy!
Greenville’s streets usually have no shortage of four legged friends, and that will be especially true this Saturday night during Paws on the Plaza. Whether you have a pup, or just love animals, all are invited to this fundraising event, held by Group Therapy and Camperdown Plaza. Dance along to live music from The High Tides, shop from pet friendly vendors, and enter their snazzy raffle. Additionally, pets will love getting pampered at their Pup Cup Bar. This is a free community event, but donations are appreciated.
For this weekend only, the Greenville Theatre will be performing Red, a 2010 Tony Award-winning Best Play. It delves into the life of artist Mark Rothko and his assistant and their musings regarding why art matters in the modern world. Tickets start at $35. You won’t want to miss it!
Because there are so many tasty restaurants in Greenville, it can be tricky to narrow down where to start. If that sounds like you, let the Bites and Sights Tour take the lead. Tour guides from Foothill Foodie Tours In and Around Greenville take pride in explaining Greenville’s rich history at each stop. First, individuals will stop at Brick Street Cafe for an eclectic atmosphere and food with a Southern flare. Next, individuals will be guided to Nick and Norman’s for drinks, comfort food, and great vibes. Finally, the tour will end at the sweet cafe Le Petite Croissant, where delicious desserts abound. The tour starts at $85, and runs daily Thursday-Saturday.
Thanks for visiting!
