December 6, 2026 – December 12, 2026
The first full week of December in Greenville opens with Pentatonix at Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Sunday, the downtown holiday corridor in full swing, and the Swamp Rabbit Trail at its quietest and most scenic stretch of the year. Here is the full calendar for December 6 through 12.
Pentatonix, the Grammy-winning a cappella group best known for their viral holiday covers and recordings, brings their annual holiday tour to Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Sunday, December 6. The show is a full theatrical production with orchestral lighting and high production value. Pentatonix consistently sells out venues on the holiday tour, so plan to arrive early. The arena parking garage opens 90 minutes before showtime. Tickets and show details at bswellnessarena.com.
December is the best month to walk downtown Greenville. The stretch from Broad Street to the Peace Center is decorated for the holidays with lights through the trees along Main Street and Falls Park. The Saturday Market at McBee Avenue runs through December with local vendors. The lower level of Falls Park along the Reedy River has additional lighting through the trees from dusk until around 10 PM most evenings. Free admission to Falls Park, Camperdown parking garage on Falls Street is the closest option.
The Greenville Swamp Rabbits are deep into their home schedule at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in December. Home games run Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday most weeks. Check the full home schedule at swamprabbits.com. Puck drop is typically 7:05 PM. December games are popular with families and groups visiting the city.
The two weeks between Thanksgiving and mid-December are the peak for downtown shopping in Greenville. Main Street has a good mix of locally-owned boutiques, galleries, and gift shops alongside the restaurants. The stretch from Broad to North Street is walkable and most shops are open late on weekends through December.
December on the Swamp Rabbit Trail is underrated. Without leaves, the views along the Reedy River are the best of the year. The trail is quiet on weekday mornings and well-lit at night through the downtown segment. The section north toward Travelers Rest is peaceful and uncrowded from late November through January. Free access, free parking at Unity Park.
The downtown tree lighting typically happens in early December. The outdoor ice rink at Greenville County Square typically opens in December. The Peace Center holiday programming runs through the end of the month. December in Greenville tends to be mild enough for outdoor evening walks most nights.
