What's happening in Greenville this weekend?

Good afternoon, Greenville. Foxcroft Food & Wine will serve its last dinner this Friday. The restaurant world isn’t for the faint of heart, and we’ll be watching to see who takes over that prime downtown spot next.

In today’s edition:

Let’s dive in.

Trappe Door

Price range: $27-$46

The Trappe Door in Greenville is a cozy, wood-filled spot that feels a bit like a secret hideout. The staff is super friendly, and the food? Let’s just say the short ribs—tender and tasty with creamy mashed potatoes—are worth writing home about. It’s a tad pricey, but the warm vibe and great beer selection make it a solid pick for a special night out.

Just an FYI, we don't make money from these deals - we just love sharing good finds with our community.

Happy Hour
½ off on select appetizers and pizzas. $2 off beer, wine, & cocktails.

Where: Yard House
When: Monday-Friday | 4 PM -6 PM

Burger & Brew
Enjoy a burger and a pint for 10 bucks, which is a pretty sweet deal these days. There’s live music too.

Where: Southernside Brewing
When: Thursday | 4 PM -6 PM

Art Classes | Artistic Edge Art Studio

Ever wanted to try making art but figured you weren't "artistic enough"? Artistic Edge says forget that noise. They welcome everyone—zero experience needed. You can mess around with resin pours that look like ocean waves, make jewelry, try pyrography (that's wood burning, fancy name included), create mosaics, or work with beach glass.

Ever tried chicken tinga tacos? I just love these tacos. The smoky chipotle chicken with creamy avocado and a squeeze of lime is ridiculously good. Twenty minutes, minimal effort, maximum flavor. Not sure why, but you won’t find chicken tinga much in Mexican restaurants in the U.S., although it is very common dish in Mexico. If you want something authentic, give these a taste. Get the recipe

We handpick events in and around Greenville. From premium to free events including comedy, festivals and live music.

Peter & The Wolf Symphony | Peace Center
Saturday & Sunday | 3 PM

Back by popular demand, Peter and the Wolf returns to the Gunter Theatre for two enchanting performances. Audiences will be treated to the evocative melodies of Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 alongside a fresh reimagining of Prokofiev’s beloved classic. This year’s production follows two adventurous children from the Carolina Mountains, RaeLynn and Luke, in a charming new retelling narrated by Greenville’s own Mimi Wyche.

A fun experience for audiences of all ages, Peter and the Wolf promises to rekindle a sense of wonder and celebrate the magic of music and imagination.

Everything Outdoor Fest | Historic Hopkins Farm
Saturday 10 AM - 6 PM
Sunday 11 AM - 4 PM

If it happens outside, you’ll find it here. Spend the weekend surrounded by fresh air, live music, and people who’d rather be under the sky than under a roof. Test your casting skills, hit the trails, learn camping basics, or check out the latest off-road gear. There’s good food, cold drinks, and plenty of space to explore. Whether you’re a trail veteran or just getting started, this is the place to try something new and connect with folks who share your love of the outdoors. The weather is looking pretty good this weekend too, with no rain expected. Free entry if you volunteer for a few hours.
