While the festival is from 9-6pm on Saturday for General Admission (8$), there is a First Dibs Party offered from 6-9pm on Friday night (25$). This pre party ensures limited crowds and free giveaways, and it makes for an excellent date night! Children 16 and under receive free general admission.

Mondays have a reputation for being drab, but they don’t have to be. Every Monday, Spare Time offers FREE trivia for individuals and teams with prizes offered for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. This luxury bowling alley is the coziest spot to socialize with friends while learning fun facts. Enjoy quality appetizers, entries, and desserts. Local tip: “The Share Time” ice cream treat is a must. Registration starts at 6:30, and the game starts at 7!
Grammy nominated music artist, Andrew Ripp, is coming to Greenville on his Big Feelings Tour this Friday. According to Ripp, it will be, “an opportunity for folks to step into a room filled with all sorts of different stories of victory, pain, loss, and love and feel zero judgment.” Ripp’s genre is a contemporary blend of Christian, pop, and soul. He is joined by special guests Blessing Offor and Rachael Lampa from 7-9 on September 15th. Ripp affirms that, “The Big Feelings Tour is meant to be a filling station… a place that you can come and fill your hearts with belonging and acceptance before heading back out into the world. Bring all your friends and all of your feelings. See you soon.”
Looking for a casual, pop-up event while exploring downtown Greenville? Celebrate the end of the week by participating in a Main Street Friday. Every Friday on Noma Square, free musical entertainment is offered from 5:30-9:30. (Note that music begins at 5:50pm and 7:40pm). Noma Square is close to several local eateries and breweries, such as Roost, Provencia, Trio, and more. Seating is limited, so please bring a folding chair if possible. Finally, it is not uncommon for dancing to break out in the square, making it the ideal spot to people watch or join in the fun!
There has been a murder in Greenville, and it is up to you to catch the killer! America’s largest interactive murder mystery dinner show is coming to Greenville from 6-9pm on September 16th. Enjoy a catered meal while solving the mystery with help from zany detectives. A prize package awaits the Top Sleuth who cracks the case first. Because murder is on the line, children under the age of 12 are not permitted to attend. A fully stocked bar is available for purchase throughout the entire performance.
