Need a little break after all the holiday hustle and bustle comes to a close? Come spend a weekend with us, let us pamper and help you recoup after the rush, and Greenville will make sure you aren’t bored with your pick of music, nature, art, and shopping.
Friday & Saturday 1/6 – 1/7
Friday starts off with a tough choice between the First Friday Art Crawl offering 25 different galleries throughout the downtown area, or a Full Moon Night Hike at Conestee Nature Preserve. With the Art Crawl you’ll have a chance to see new exhibits and meet local artists in their natural studio habitats, but on the other hand, a brisk guided hike through Conestee Nature Preserve, lit by the magical light of the full moon, will introduce you to totally different nocturnal habitats. Saturday after breakfast you can enjoy Falls Park and all the shops of Downtown Greenville. Then head to the Upcountry History Museum to view Wild Things: The Art of Maurice Sendak and get a glimpse of Sendak’s works. That evening, get a little sleuthy with The Dinner Detective. This who-done-it dinner theater will have you questioning if your neighbor or even your date is the murderer.
On Sunday, The Brunch Market in Greer is a good place to start the day with it’s yummy baked goods, produce, and locally created art and treats. Then, it’s off to the Wedding Festival to plan any upcoming nuptials.
Friday & Saturday 1/13 – 1/14
Kick off your weekend at The Café and Then Some, enjoying dinner and a hilarious show with Greenville’s longest running sketch comedy troop, and their latest take on pop culture, with “Stranger Thangs”.
Saturday is all about the Reedy River Falls and skating at Ice on Main, before taking a stroll through the Upstate History Museum’s Nutcracker exhibit for one last touch of Christmas. That evening, bring out your wand, and your dress robes, and join the Greenville Symphony as they perform the music of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone while the movie plays for your enjoyment.
Friday & Saturday 1/20 – 1/21
