Art plays an integral role in enriching the mind, body, and soul, and this city knows how to bring the arts to each of its residents. Artisphere is a signature South Carolina cultural event submerging locals and tourists alike in the lively art scene of Greenville. It allows everyone to inundate themselves with the sights and sounds of the local culture.
When it comes to awakening the sense of taste, Fall for Greenville is cultivated to bring flavor to life. There’s no food scene like the southern food scene and Fall for Greenville is the bell of the ball.

March through August, locals head to Main Street on Thursday nights for Downtown Alive! The street is filled with music, and there are drinks for everyone to enjoy.
If it’s a big show that locals crave, Bon Secours Wellness Arena fits the bill. At the arena, guests enjoy hockey matches, live music performances, other sporting events, and family shows. For a taste of history, stop by the History Museum of Upcountry South Carolina. This highly informative museum is great for a rainy day or cosmopolitan afternoon.
Getting active is easy to do in a city with such splendid natural sights as Greenville. Residents enjoy ice skating at Ice on Main and Unity Park preserves nature and good old-fashioned fun.

While Falls Park provides a luscious array of shades of green complemented by the rushing sapphire waters of the river. It’s the city's heart, coupling the old with the new; the quiet stroll with the busy city sounds. It links the town together. Crossing that connection and bringing the locals to each other sits the Liberty Bridge.
