Whether you’re a hardcore cyclist or curious cinephile, Greenville’s 24th Annual Bicycle Film Festival at the Peace Center promises to be an engaging movie going experience. Through two featured films, Hard Miles and BFF Cinematic Shorts, explore the world of cycling through art, film, and music. The 3pm matinee is $15, while the 6:15 pm evening show is $20. Valet bicycle parking will be offered under the bridge on the downtown Swamp Rabbit Trail. Happy trails!
This Saturday, the Greenville Symphony Orchestra is more accessible than ever during their free concert at Camperdown Plaza. During this Family Freude Fest (which means “joy” in German), families are invited to pull up a chair and enjoy performances by members Amy Moyer, Kayle Fernandes, Nate Lueders, and Hayley Burton. At 10am, they will perform Lollipops, a classical show that is best suited for ages 3-8. (Each child will receive a lollipop, too). Then at 11am, individuals of all ages are invited to sing alongside the Greenville Symphony. It’s an event that would make even Beethoven proud!
Hops and Herons is quickly becoming one of the best beer festivals in the Upstate. Located at Conestee Nature Preserve, sprawled across a picturesque meadow and under giant oak trees, attendees have the opportunity to sample over 20 different kinds of beer from 15 local breweries. Chill out to live music from the Brooks Dixon Band while enjoying unlimited samples. Children are invited to check out the bubble station, face paint station, and corn pit. Prices vary, depending on the day; all proceeds go towards their nonprofit organization. Surround yourself with the natural beauty of the hills and heavens this weekend at Hops & Herons.
This weekend is your last chance to attend Disney's The Lion King at the Peace Center in Greenville, SC.

A young prince must navigate the betrayal of his uncle, encounter familial death, and face his past ghosts. Tickets start at $80. The Lion King has won six Tony Awards for Best Musical, and is truly something to behold in person.
