 Fall For Greenville Is Almost Here!

After getting post poned after hurricane Helene, Fall for Greenville makes it’s return this weekend and we want to give you some tips to get you ready if you haven’t already planned ahead!

Tips for Attending Fall for Greenville

Fall for Greenville is returning to Greenville next month, taking place from Friday, November 8th to Sunday, November 10th. If you're planning on going, here are some tips to make the most of your festival experience:

Today Is The Last Day To Get Taste Tickets in Advance Online: Admission to Fall for Greenville is free, but you'll need Taste Tickets to purchase food and drinks from the 60+ restaurants participating. You can buy sheets of Taste Tickets for $5 at designated locations before the festival or online. This will help you avoid long lines during the event, especially over the weekend.

Get Your Wristband Early for Alcoholic Beverages: If you plan on enjoying the wide selection of craft beers and wines at the festival, remember to grab a wristband. Bring your ID and a dollar bill to purchase your wristband at will call, the Spinx Beer Garden, or the GSP International Airport Wine Garden. Just like with the Taste Tickets, getting your wristband early can save you time and hassle.

Family Fun at the Kids' Area: Fall for Greenville offers entertainment for all ages! The V-Co. Kids' Area is a great place to take the little ones, with slides, swings, and a dedicated Toddler Town. Remember that kids' rides require Taste Tickets, so make sure to have enough on hand.

Explore Transportation Options: With road closures in downtown Greenville during the festival, driving and parking can be a challenge. Consider these alternative options:

Park for free in a designated parking zone and take the free trolley

Utilize Bike Walk Greenville's free Bike Valet, available Friday from 4-8 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 12-6 p.m.
