Greenville feels like it’s always bustling, so it can come as a shock when there are less events on our events calendar. July tends to be one of those slower months in our city, so we put together a list of things to do when there isn’t an event to attend.
Free things to do
Who else’s city has a list of fun, free things to do on its official site? We’re not sure, but ours does. Find the Mice on Main, check out our public artwork, or visit one of our parks.
Our friends at Kidding Around Greenville also put together a list of 30+ free things to do with your kiddos.
Do a craft
There are plenty of places to get your craft on in Greenville. Partake in a sip and paint night at Vino and Van Gogh or build your own terrarium at Sun and Soil Plant Parlor.
Take a hike
Soak in nature and get outside (but make sure you have plenty of water + sunscreen) with our hiking guide.
Go tubing
Cool off with a splash at one of these tubing locations and beat the heat. We don’t recommend trying this in January. Mostly because it’ll be cold, but also because most of these places will be closed.
Visit a museum
If going outdoors isn’t your thing, spend some time in the AC at one of our local museums. Pro tip: The Upcountry History Museum has a Star Wars exhibit right now.
Play some games
Grab your putter (figuratively, they have them there) and head to Group Therapy Pub & Playground for a round of indoor putt putt, throw some axes, or try indoor curling.
Are you a puzzle solver? Try an escape room at Escape Artist Greenville or Breakout Games.
Did we miss your favorite thing to do in the off months? Be sure to let us know how you fight the boredom.
