Celebrate 20 years of food, wine, and music at euphoria in Greenville, SC. | Graphic by 6AM City
Get your taste buds ready, GVL. We’ve partnered with euphoria Food, Wine & Music Festival to treat one lucky winner + a guest to an epic weekend celebrating 20 years of euphoria in Greenville, SC (Thursday, Sept 18-Sunday, Sept 21).
The euphoria 20th anniversary experience — valued at $1,900 — includes:
We’re so good, we made it in the title. Forbes recently released its “Best Places to Retire in 2025” list, with the subheadline, “Greenville and Other Surprisingly Affordable Gems.” Citing our below national median-priced homes, our good air quality, and our “agreeable climate,” we can’t say we disagree.
Mansion Monday
Today’s listing — recently featured in CIRCA — is technically not a mansion, but instead, a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in Fountain Inn. Featuring an eat-in kitchen, a state-of-the-art laundry room, and original oak hardwood floors, you can live your best cottagecore life.
Number
$9.25 million. That’s how much the initially approved operational budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year in Travelers Rest is. The funds will go towards hiring three full-time city employees, adding a fire air tank system + new fire truck, and won’t include a tax increase. (Greenville Journal)
Watch
Let’s face it, you all wanted more goat content. In case you missed it, the goats are back in Cleveland Park to dine on kudzu, poison oak, and other invasive plants. The City of Greenville dropped a new video of the crazy kids hard at work, and it’s worth a baaaa-tch.
Kids
India, meet Greenville. Thanks to The Children’s Museum of the Upstate’s newest Cultural Corner feature, kids can experience the sights, sounds, and stories of India without needing a passport. The exhibit opens Saturday, May 24, at 9 a.m., so pack your bags and head over.
Sports
The Swamp Rabbit Hockey Team released its schedule for the 2025-2026 season. Games start in October and run through April, so you have plenty of time to catch a game. Did we mention season tickets are already on sale?
Announced
Let’s get to at work. AtWork, a staffing franchise specializing in facilitating company growth, opened its newest location — adding to its 100+ locations worldwide — in Aston’s Verdae Village shopping complex in Greenville. There are also plans to open one in Spartanburg.
