The time has finally come. Bank of America Fall For Greenville presented by Pepsi is almost here. The kick off concert is Thursday, Oct. 10 at 5 p.m. + the festival is taking over Main Street Friday, Oct. 11 through Sunday, Oct. 13.
Before you indulge in the 60+ restaurants and 80 performances — here are some tips to enjoying the festivities:
Snag your Taste Tickets beforehand
For those who haven’t been before, entry is free, but Taste Tickets are your way to pay for food + drink each day. While there are stations to purchase sheets of tickets ($5 per a sheet of five tickets) in person during the festival, lines can get pretty long — especially during the weekend. Beat the crowds by:
- Ordering online or pick up at will call (located near the CPI Security West End Stage Thurs., Oct. 10 + at City Hall Friday, Oct. 11-Sun., Oct. 13)
- Buy in-person early (Monday, Sept. 30 through Thursday, Oct. 10) at Bank of America Falls Tower Financial Center + Diamonds Direct on Woodruff Road.
Planning to enjoy the 50+ draft and craft beers and wine? You’ll need a wristband. Bring a $1 bill and your ID to will call, the Spinx Beer Garden and the GSP International Airport Wine Garden. Like the Taste tickets, the earlier you can get this, the better.
Fall For Greenville with the kiddos
The festival isn’t just for us “big kids.” If you’re planning to bring the little ones, visit the V-Co. Kids’ Area, featuring slides + swings and a Toddler Town. Like the food and drink, kids rides are paid for with Taste tickets, so be sure to stock up.
Catch a free (or cheap) ride
Avoid downtown’s road closures + spending time searching for parking by taking advantage of these free, alternative ways to get to the festival:
- Park in a designated free parking zone and hop on the free trolley
- Ride your bike and park at Bike Walk Greenville’s Bike Valet from 4-8 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 12-6 p.m. on Sunday
- Exit in style with a ride on a Greenville Bike Taxi
