Moonlight Movies are back in Greenville, SC! Every Thursday night from September 5th-October 31st, a classic movie will be shown at Falls Park on the big screen.

Visit “where the wild things are” this Friday, September 6th, for a Sippin’ Safari fundraiser at the Greenville Zoo.

Sponsors include Willy Taco, Swamp Rabbit Cafe, Barberitos, The Melting Pot, and more. Additionally, enjoy beer samples from 13 Stripes Beer. This event is ages 21+ and ID is required for admission.

Experience a world of dragons, knights, and fairies at Greer’s annual Upstate Renaissance Faire on September 6th-7th. Every year it has gotten bigger and better, and this year is no exception. The whole family can enjoy live entertainment, knight tournaments, Kids Kingdom, and an artisan marketplace. Don your best medieval costume for their costume contest! Or not; truly, there is no better place for people watching. Vendors will be on site, so look out for kettle corn and turkey leg sellers. Both the event and parking are completely free; come on out this weekend for a magical time.
Get ready for a scary good time at Madworld’s Haunted Attraction in Greenville, SC.
