🚀 Elevate Your Week: Unexpected Thrills from Pirate Parties to Curling Capers and more!
This week's curated lineup of events in the Greenville, SC Area!
Welcome, Moment Makers!
This week, we’ve got some great events for you that range from learning how to curl all the way to a pirate party this weekend! We think you’re going to love these ideas, and make sure you vote at the end on which one you’re most excited about so we can continue to hone in what everybody would love to see more of!
Let’s get into it!
🥌 Learn to Curl with Palmetto Curling Club
📅 When: Tuesday, January 16, 2024, (Sessions at 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm)
🏢 Where: The Pavilion - (400 Scottswood Rd. Taylors, SC)
💲 Price: Free!
Have you ever sat at home and watched sports on TV and thought “I could do that!” Well now is the perfect chance to put your words to the test because you can go and get your hands dirty (or, in this case, cold) and learn how to curl with the Palmetto Curling Club!
And guess what? It’s totally free.
The Rundown:
Curling 101: You'll get a crash course on everything curling—from its history to the art of scoring!
Ice Time: After that, it’s showtime! The club members will help you get your shoe grippers and broom and learn the basics. Slide, release, sweep – you’ll get the hang of it. It’s all about having fun (and maybe not falling).
Wrap-Up & Game Play: Post-training, they'll chat about their club, league play, and all things curling. Still got questions or just can't get enough? Stick around for a quick game on the full sheet of ice.
Why Try Curling? Because when else do you get to say you spent your evening sliding granite rocks across ice while your friends swept furiously in front of it?
So grab your sense of adventure (and maybe a helmet), and let’s hit the ice. It’s curling time – Palmetto style!

🩰 Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo
📅 When: Tuesday, January 16, 2024, Starts at 7:30pm
🏢 Where: The Peace Center - (300 S Main St, Greenville, SC 29601)
💲 Price: Tickets Range From $15-$50
Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (a.k.a. the Trocks) is cruising into Greenville, and we feel confident in saying that your ballet stereotypes are about to get kicked in the tutu (horrible joke, but we’re rolling with it).
What Makes This Different?: These aren’t your typical ballerinas. They’re an all-male dance troupe known for blending incredible pointe work with a side of cheeky parody. Think Swan Lake, but a lot funnier and bolder!
Why it’s a must-see: Even if your dance knowledge and vocabulary is limited to “the running man” or if you’re a seasoned balletomane (we had to look that word up), the Trocks offer something for everyone. It’s a mix of top-notch dance skill and clever comedy that’ll have you appreciating ballet in a whole new way.
They’ve been at this nearly 50 years, turning the dance world on its head and gathering a legion of fans – from ballet newbies to the purists.
Prepare to laugh, marvel, and maybe even fall a little bit in love with ballet.

📅 When: Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 7:00pm
🏢 Where: Warehouse at Vaughn’s - (109 W. Trade Street Simpsonville, SC 29681)
It's time to dust off your old CD collections and brush up on your music trivia because the Warehouse at Vaughn’s is throwing it back to the decade of arguably the best music ever made (but we aren’t biased).
Why You Gotta Be There: Imagine a night where every question takes you on a trip down memory lane, back to the times of mixtapes and MTV hits. This is where your hours spent listening to '90s hits finally pay off.
So, are you ready to show off your '90s music prowess? Join us for a night of fun, facts, and maybe a little “mmmbop.” See you there – it’s going to be all that and a bag of chips (we cringed at that line too)!
