Boo! It’s spooky season at the Greenville Zoo. For a limited time, attendees are invited to trick or treat among the lions, tigers, and bears (oh my)! Stroll through decorated attractions like Dragon Alley and a Ghost Town, whilst donning costumes and collecting candy. Trick or treat tickets are $14; non trick or treat tickets are $11. Note, there is a $2 upcharge for purchasing tickets at the window, so be sure to purchase tickets online ahead of time. Boo babies (0-1), who are not participating in collecting treats, are free. Start a new family tradition this year: visit Boo in the Zoo!
Experience an unforgettable music festival experience during Simpsonville’s Voyage Music Festival this weekend. Join top music artists like Wiz Khalifa, Notd Skeez, The Chainsmokers, Chelsea Cutler, and more, as they rock the stage all weekend long. With general admission, VIP, and Super VIP ticket options, festival goers can personalize their experience to the utmost. There’s even an RV camping option for those wishing to spend the night in style. When it comes to a party, we all want “Something Just Like This.”
The Greer Arts & Eats Festival has something for everyone: an artisan market, food court, beer garden, and kid’s craft station. Stop by downtown Greer this Saturday for a day of live music, featuring The Weatherman Band, Jackson Grimm, Brooks Dixon Band, and Pat Cooper. Shop from over 80 venders on Artist Alley to find deals on handmade goods; be sure to check out the Kids Craft Station from 11am-3pm.

Dial up the spooky factor this Halloween season during the Greenville Theatre’s adaptation of Dial M for Murder. Witness a story of “blackmail, passion, and revenge” between an estranged husband and wife, where all is not as it seems. Grace Kelly starred in the 1954 movie version, and since then, theaters have been putting their own twist on the classic. Tickets start at $35 and are selling out fast. Be sure to reserve your tickets online for an Alfred Hithcock-like viewing experience that is sure to keep you on your toes.
