John F. Kennedy once said, "Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike." And where better to ride a bike than Greenville, SC, where hills, parks, and water features are around every turn? Reedy Rides offers premier bike rentals and tour packages at a low cost. Their Swamp Rabbit Trail Tour is a 2 hour, 8-10 mile bike tour that traverses Falls Park, Cancer Survivors Park, Cleveland Park, Unity Park, and the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery. If you desire a longer tour, they also offer 3 and 3 ½ hour tours geared towards Furman University and Travelers Rest. All tours include an ebike, water bottle, helmet, and friendly tour guide. It may be a simple activity, but it’s well worth the trip.
Time Out New York calls A Chorus Line,” One of Broadway's all-time greats, with more kick than most other shows combined." This beloved Broadway musical is coming to Mauldin Theatre Company this weekend. It focuses on the inner lives of dancers, as they audition for an upcoming play and deal with tumultuous feelings, ranging from joy to despair. Sing along to classics like “What I Did for Love, “I Can Do That,” “The Music and the Mirror,” and “I Hope I Get It.” Tickets are $20, but a discount is available for military, students, and seniors. Enjoy a night out on the town with this Broadway Classic.

Experience “How Country Feels” during Celebrate Anderson, an annual concert offered in Anderson, SC. This year’s free concert will host country stars Randy Houser and Ashley McBryde. Houser is an experienced American singer/songwriter that has a list of top hits like “How Country Feels,” “Boots On,” and “Anything Goes.” Ashley McBryde is a Grammy, CMA, and ACM award winner, with hits like “Bible and a .44.” Though tickets are free, they must be reserved online ahead of time. Participants are encouraged to pack blankets and/or chairs as it is an outside venue. Food and beverage services are on site, but they are quite expensive, so it’s a good idea to bring water and snacks, if desired. After the concerts, stay tuned for an electric firework display. Join for an evening of county celebration and Southern pride.
Soak up the last few days of summer with a Labor Day Luau! This weekend at Gather GVL, enjoy live performances, DJs, and pop up markets from August 31-September 2nd. Mix and mingle during a free Latin Dancing Social or shop for handcrafted treasures at your leisure. Be sure to peruse the food and beverages options; there’s a reason Gather GVL has been voted “The 5th Best Food Hall in America” (2024 USA Today Readers’ Choice Awards).
