Feast by the Field
This popular Euphoria Greenville Saturday event is moving to the West End! Feast by the Field will take place at the corner of Main and S. Markley this year, across from Fluor Field (945 S. Main Street, Greenville). If you’ve never been to Euphoria Greenville, this is one of two events that I HIGHLY recommend for getting the most bang for your buck. Not only will the event keep your hunger at bay, beer, wine and booze drinkers, grab a glass at the door. This is your chance to learn, taste and imbibe with the experts. Tickets here.
Traffic Jam
Some of the best food trucks around serve up the best of food truck cuisine in the outfield of Fluor Field (925 S. Main Street, Greenville). Grab a beverage and an armload of plates, then find a seat in the outfield and enjoy an evening full of live music. Tickets here.
Sunday Brunch: Fired Up!
Get your friends together for a smokin’ good time at Sunday Brunch from 10am-2pm at the corner of Main and S. Markley Street (945 S. Main Street, Greenville). Some of the best pitmasters and chefs in the South are cooking up an amazing spread for this year’s family friendly, Sunday Brunch event. This is one of the two events I recommend for first timers. There are all you can drink Bloody Marys, Mimosa’s and beer, fabulous and abundant food, and music to keep your foot tapping. (Drink responsibly!) Tickets here.
Also, don’t miss the 11am Healthy Lunchtime Throwdown at the Culinary Stage featuring Michelin Star Chefs and talented kid chefs who are battling it out for a wining recipe. The winning dish will be included on the Greenville County School lunch menu!
