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.
Embark on a “Journey to the Past” during the Greenville Theatre’s production of Anastasia this December. The musical is based off of the book by Terrence McNally and the beloved film from 1997. When Anya leaves her childhood orphanage in pursuit of her future, she is confronted, instead, with the mysteries of her family’s past. Join Anastasia, Dimitri, and Vladimir as they travel from St. Petersburg to Paris, in an adventure packed with intrigue, friendship, and love. Tickets start at $50, though there is a senior and military discount. You won’t want to miss it; this show only comes around “Once Upon a December.”
There’s a reason there are so many horse drawn carriages in Christmas romantic comedies: it’s iconic. Make a new memory this winter during a carriage ride at scenic Fountain Inn. For friends, dates, or families, this is a perfect and cheap way to explore city Christmas lights and slow down the pace of life. Tickets are $15 per person for forty minute rides. Sleigh!
December is the perfect time to bundle up and hit the ice rink, especially at Greenville’s Ice on Main. It is located conveniently near the Courtyard Marriott, next to a plethora of shops and restaurants for wanderers to explore after an exciting skating adventure. The outside venue provides skates and drinks/snacks for purchase. Ticket prices and hours depend on the day, but children under 2 skate free. Undoubtedly, skating can be a sweet way to create lasting memories with those we hold most dear.
“Ding dong… Christmas is here” and it’s “bringing good cheer” during the Trans-Siberian Orchestra this weekend. All are invited to join the dazzling light show and multi-platinum rock group for “The Lost Christmas Eve,” which has already amassed 20 million views and raised 20 million dollars for charity. Follow the story of a man hardened by grief and isolated from everyone he once cared about… until a magical source reconnects him with loved ones from his past. Tickets start at $60 at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
The man, the myth, the legend… John Legend, that is, is touring in Greenville on Monday, December 16th. Join A John Legend Christmas Tour for a musical and storytelling experience that will feature highlights from Legend’s Christmas album, like “This Christmas” and “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Get to know the man behind the iconic, angelic voice, as he is accompanied by a “four-piece-band.” Tickets start at $225 at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
