Downtown Greenville will be happy-go-huggy this Friday for a Bliss Mob Hug Parade. Started by Asheville resident Elle Erickson, the hug mob aims to spread positivity in the world through the power of a good ole-fashioned hug party.

If hugging isn’t really your thing, maybe a fist bump or high-five will help spread the love. The parade starts at 4:00 p.m. in front of the ONE Building on June 9.
