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.
"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading." - Jane Austen. Experience the thrill of discussing quality books during City Scape Winery’s Summer Book Club. There will be a new book to discuss each month: June, July, and August, and July’s book is titled Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. Secure your spot with a ticket priced at $9.95, and this will include your first glass of wine. Participants can purchase a hardcopy beforehand or read the audiobook. Didn’t catch July’s meeting? CHeck out City Scape’s book club choice for August to join in the fun!
Summer’s almost over, so now is the time to make the most of those glorious sunny days out on the lake. You’re invited to a Hot Float Summer Float-a-Palooza at The Landing this weekend. Just 15 minutes from downtown Greenville, enjoy a live DJ, rental deals, and a snack bar. Cody Lane will be playing on Saturday, and Capt. Nick will take the stage on Sunday. Tickets are only $10! Explore one of Greenville’s hidden gems, a paradise with scenic views and good vibes.
Even though Greenville’s motto is “Yeah, THAT Greenville,” and not related to being weird like Asheville’s motto (“Keep Asheville Weird”), Greenville has its own quirky charm. See this side for yourself during a monthly Weirdo Market, held on the 1st Saturday of every month from 11am-4pm. Shop for eclectic deals: homemade and thrifted items, among other things. Enjoy live music and a chill atmosphere! The market will be held in the Poe West complex, where Carolina Bauernhaus, La Rue Fine Chocolate, Six & Twenty Distillery, and Unlocked Coffee are located.
Mumford and Sons fans no longer have to wait; they are coming to town for their Railroad Revival Tour at the CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park in Simpsonville, SC. This iconic British rock band has released five albums and won various music awards, including six Grammy nominations. They are known for their folk and alternative rock style, as well as their emotional and compelling lyrics. Joining them for this concert is none other than Darius Rucker, a unique combination. Tickets start at $73.35.
Life is short. It’s even shorter when one is born with a rare genetic condition that causes rapid aging, like in Kimberly Akimbo’s case. The Tony Award winning show, Kimberly Akimbo, features the struggles and triumphs of a 16 year old girl, whose fictional condition causes her to appear to be in her 70’s. Despite its serious and weighty themes, The New Yorker also deemed it, a “howlingly funny heartbreaker of a show.” The show has a script written by David Lindsay-Abraire (Shrek), score produced by Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home), and choreography directed by Jessica Stone. Tickets are on sale now, starting at $55 at the Peace Center from August 5th-10th.
