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.
Want to catch a film this weekend, but looking for something original? Oscar shorts are screening at the Peace Center for only $12 a screening. The categories are live action, documentary, and animation, so there’s something for everyone. Note: Certain films may not be appropriate for individuals under 14. Get the inside scoop on Oscar nominated films for the 2025 season.
It’s that time of year again! Every February, the Bon Secours Wellness Arena hosts Winter Jam, an epic Christian concert that is only $15. Sing along with Skillet, Anne Wilson, KB, Colton Dixon, New Song, Micah Tyler, and more in a concert that will have you jumping up and down and dancing in your seat. Between sets, join as Zane Black shares an encouraging word. This family friendly event is for everyone, ages three and up. Get ready to jam like never before.
Stone Pin Bowling Company isn’t your classic 90’s bowling alley, with cigarette scented retro carpeting and ancient arcade games. Instead, it's a modern “boutique bowling alley” with brick walls and rustic feel. This locally owned establishment has only 6 lanes, so that customer service reigns supreme. The bar serves delicious bowling snacks, beer, and cocktails. And the best part… every Friday and Saturday night, starting at 9pm, enjoy Cosmic Bowling. It’s out of this world!
This weekend, inspiration is waiting at the Southern Home and Garden Show. Shop from 150+ exhibits in the Greenville Convention Center, featuring interior design, landscaping, flooring, appliances, and more. It’s the perfect destination for builders, remodelers, and curious shoppers. General admission is $8, and cashless parking is $10. Children 12 and under receive free admission. Make your interior design dreams come true this winter.
The circus is coming to town this weekend! The internationally acclaimed circus, UniverSoul, is returning to the Simpsonville area for the first time in 12 years. Their performers are trained to amaze: stunt artists, fire breathers, aerial dancers, and playful clowns. Be prepared to hold your breath when the performers scale the wheel of death and zhukau swing. Tickets start at $27.50 for seating in their circular auditorium. Don’t try these stunts at home, folks.
