While most Greenville visitors are familiar with Falls Park, arguably one of the most famous parks in the nation, many have not heard of its little brother: Cancer Survivors Park. Central to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, CSP connects Falls Park to Cleveland Park, making it an ideal place to park and begin hiking in either direction. This park includes numerous trails, sculptures, and pavilions, making it a perfect place to find peace in the midst of a busy city. This park includes daily community programs, especially for those learning to live through life change and loss. The following are events that are occurring this September: Virtual Therapeutic Yoga (Mondays, 3-4pm), Virtual Strength Training (Tuesday, 9:30-10am), Virtual Guided Meditation (Wednesdays, 9-9:45am), and Melanoma Support Group (Thursday, 6-7).
Bons Secours Wellness Arena welcomes Old Dominion on September 6th for their No Bad Vibes Tour. The “One Man Band” artists will be accompanied by special guests Tyler Hubbard and Kylie Morgan. Tickets start at 43$, depending on seat location. Be sure to buy your ticket(s) quickly as they are going fast! The show starts at 7:30 pm.
