We know time’s flying by, and kids go back to school this week, but we’re not calling it quits on summer just yet, people. Officially, summer doesn’t end until late September, but we’re here to help you squeeze every last drop of fun out of the next few days.

For kids

There are so many things for kids to do in Greenville, we made a whole list. From educational activities, to splash pads, soak up those end-of-summer vibes.

For the adventurer

Take a hike. No, really. Get those back-to-school jitters out with a nice, relaxing hike on one of our hiking trails.

For the foodie

Hit up any of the Farmers Markets all over the Upstate to grab produce before it goes out of season

For the planner

We couldn’t forget about you. We put together a list of our must-do summer activities so you didn’t have to.
