Fall for Greenville is not just the biggest food and music festival in South Carolina. It is the event that most people point to when they try to explain what makes Greenville different. Three days on Main Street. A hundred restaurants and bands. Two hundred thousand visitors. Free to walk in. Worth every minute of it.
This year marks the 45th annual edition, officially sponsored by Bank of America. If you are already in Greenville or thinking about making the move, this is the weekend to be here.
Seven stages spread across Main Street and the surrounding blocks. The genres range wide: country, rock, hip-hop, jazz, pop, americana, bluegrass, and reggae. Over 90 acts perform across the four days.
Thursday night at the West End stage kicks things off with three acts. Middlehaze opens at 5:00 PM with indie rock. Palmyra, a Virginia americana trio, takes the stage at 6:30 PM. Stop Light Observations, a Charleston rock band, closes the evening at 8:30 PM.

More than 60 restaurants and food trucks set up booths along the street with a combined 340 menu items. This year adds 12 new vendors. New Realm Brewing Co. joins the lineup for the first time. Perses Biryani Indian Grill returns for its fifth consecutive year.
Local restaurants that regularly bring their best to the festival include Cantina 76, City Tavern, Coffee Underground, Limoncello, and Soby's. Expect lines at all of them. Get there early or arrive late in the evening when the crowds thin out.
All payments are cashless. Leave the cash at home.
Main Street closes to traffic for the weekend. Public parking is available at the Camperdown garage, the River Street garage, and along Church Street. The festival draws a large crowd, so plan to walk a few blocks from wherever you park. If you are staying within a mile of downtown, walking is almost always faster than driving.
