The “Super Bowl of Bass Fishing” — the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour — is reeling its way back to Greenville in 2027, with anglers casting for glory on Lake Hartwell from March 19 to March 21.
We’re breaking down the impact of this announcement by the numbers:
5 | The number of times the tournament will have landed here after the 2027 event takes place — a record-setting return that cements Hartwell as a true big catch in Classic history. Previous visits came in 2008, 2015, 2018, and 2022.
154,932 | The estimated number of fans hooked on the Bassmaster Classic in 2022 — one of the largest turnouts ever.
$25.5 million | The total economic impact of the 2022 event — did you know events like these lower your tax bill?
Additional details — including takeoff sites, weigh-ins, and fan events — will surface closer to tournament time.

A new paved “Zoo Trail” could connect Cleveland Park to downtown by way of an old railbed behind the Greenville Zoo. The city requested design proposals this month, marking a possible next step for the long-discussed project, which could eventually link to the Swamp Rabbit Trail and expand Greenville’s trail network.

Civic
Greenville City Council approved $3 million to kick off the long-planned City Hall renovation. The funding will cover design and engineering, with plans expected this spring. Construction on the 53-year-old Main Street building is slated to begin in early 2027 and take about 18 months. (Greenville Journal)
Development
We have a Baby Bi-Lo update. Plans call for an $18.4 million overhaul of the former North Main Bi-Lo into Class A commercial space called N. Main. Greenville City Council reviewed an abandoned-building designation that would unlock tax credits for the project with a vote expected March 9. (Greenville Journal)
Real Estate
This downtown condo features soaring ceilings, exposed brick walls, arched brick columns, and oversized windows, with historic charm inside The Davenport. The 1,208-sqft space may only boast one bedroom and two bathrooms, but it’s right at the corner of Church and Washington, and you can’t beat that location.
Travel
Two new nonstop routes are taking off from GSP. Breeze Airways will launch flights to Cincinnati starting July 3 and Fort Lauderdale starting July 2, with limited-time $49 one-way fares available through Monday, March 2.
Legacy
Civil rights leader and Greenville native Rev. Jesse Jackson will lie in state at the South Carolina Statehouse on Monday, March 2. Gov. Henry McMaster also ordered flags lowered to half-staff that day to honor Jackson, who died Feb. 17 at age 84.

I’ll be honest though, I think the US Curling Championships, happening right now in Charlotte (hey, CLTtoday), is my new dream event to experience in Greenville. After learning to curl last week, I drove up Monday night to cheer on Olympic gold medalists Team Shuster for a come-from-behind win, and it was electric.
