July First Friday to feature Live Music & Summer Fun
Main Street Greenville will be introducing a new theme for July’s First
Friday event, Heat Wave! The lazy, hazy days of summer are finally
here, so head on over to downtown Greenville to make your memories of
winter fade away.
For some good old fashioned summer fun, stroll on downtown Friday, July 5th from 6 to 9 pm.
The festivities will include music by Shannon Clark and the Sugar, a
water balloon toss, oversized lawn games, an outdoor movie, and fun
family activities.
Shannon Clark and the Sugar will perform from 7 to 9 pm on 5th Street
between the Coffee Pot and Michael’s Fine Clocks and Jewelry. They are
a local band whose sweet vibes will make for one sun-sational evening.
Shannon and the Sugar specialize in a multitude of genres from soul,
pop, rock, to alt-country, so there is a special song for everyone who
comes out to listen.
BMF Fitness, a new downtown business, will be hosting limbo on W. Third
St. throughout the evening, so be sure to breeze through, enjoy the
beach party vibes, and see how low you can go! Right across Broadway on
E. Third St., Main Street Greenville will be offering a “pocket park”
made possible thanks to a partnership with Rotary Club of Greenville
and Hupmans Lawn Care. This temporary park will be open to the public
to enjoy a place to sit down, relax, socialize, and enjoy some
oversized yard game fun!
Main Street Greenville will also be offering a water balloon toss
contest on the courthouse lawn starting at 7:00 pm! Grab a friend and
see if you can go the distance without letting your balloon pop. The
winners of the toss will receive a $10 gift card to Chillz Frozen
Yogurt!
Once the sun sets bring out your lawn chairs, blankets, family, and
friends for an outdoor movie showing at the “Theater on Third”
sponsored by Greenville National Bank! The event will feature a family
friendly movie (to be announced) starting at dusk (approx 9:15 pm).
Theater on Third is an outdoor movie experience and will be located in
the city parking lot behind Bach to Rock. This outside event is free
and concessions for purchase will be provided for a perfect ending to
another dreamy summer night.
In addition to all the activities listed above, many downtown
businesses will be open late for all to enjoy, so make reservations for
dinner and explore the shopping experiences offered.
First Friday: Heat Wave is sponsored by Second National Bank.
