Greenville’s earned a reputation as a foodie town for a good reason – there are *so* many talented local chefs and must-try restaurants in our area. And the best of the best are coming together for a weekend of eating, drinking + dancing at euphoria 2018 (Sept. 20 – 23).
It can be hard to decide which events you can’t miss but euphoria has the perfect all-inclusive ticket package for every type of festival-goer.
If you’re going for the food:
The EAT Festival Pass | $250 | A ticket to Taste of the South (Friday, Sept. 21), Feast by the Field (Saturday, Sept. 22) + Sunday Brunch: Fired Up! (Sunday, Sept. 23). Think Southern classics and cocktails on Friday, tasty bites and demos from dozens of local chefs on Saturday, and BBQ to finish things off Sunday morning.
- Not looking to bundle? Feast by the Field is our top pick – we’ll be there wandering through the tents, so stop us (between mouthfuls) and say hi. 👋
If you love a good wine pairing:
The SIP Festival Pass | $170 | A ticket to Feast by the Field (Saturday, Sept. 22) and Big Easy Bash (Saturday, Sept. 22). You can’t miss the Grand Wine Tasting and a huge range of distillers + brewers at Feast by the Field, and the New Orleans-themed bash later will be perfect for sipping under the stars (with transportation from the Hyatt downtown to Trailblazer Park).
- For y’all who get a little nerdy about wine, check out the Michelin-starred dinner instead as the ultimate pairing experience.
If you want to sing your heart out:
The LISTEN Festival Pass | $210 | A ticket to Songwriter’s Recipe (Thursday, Sept. 20) and Taste of the South (Friday, Sept. 21). Hear legendary songwriters + musicians tell the stories behind the songs with drinks and bites from regional chefs on Thursday, then celebrate the weekend with a concert and a cocktail.
- If you’re a lover of music (euphoria was co-created by Edwin McCain, after all), you can’t miss Songwriter’s Recipe. And check out Lunch & Listen: Noteworthy at noon on Friday for food by local chefs and live performances by two singer/songwriters along with views of Greenville and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
And for the family who loves food: Sunday Brunch is the weekend’s only family-friendly event (make sure you’re 21+ to attend the others). Enjoy all your brunch favorites + lots of BBQ from regional pitmasters with the kids in tow. 🥂 And don’t forget to see the newest student-created dish coming to schools soon at the live Healthy Lunchtime Throwdown cooking challenge.
euphoria is the perfect opportunity for visitors + locals to come together and enjoy new and old favorites – introduce yourself to the person next to you elbow-deep in tacos and bourbon, and bond over your favorite dishes.
Not to mention that euphoria is a nonprofit whose proceeds benefit Local Boys Do Good (a 501(c)(3) set up to benefit the community) + who makes a major economic impact on GVL– so if you haven’t already, grab tickets here (they’re selling out quick).

P.S. Don’t forget euphoria’s events are all 21+ (except Sunday Brunch). Drink responsibly, and never drink and drive. For real.
