As one of the region's largest and most successful events, this award winning fall festival attracts visitors from across the Upstate and beyond. St. Francis Fall for Greenville has been named the "Most Family Friendly Event" by Upstate Parents Magazine for 2006 and 2007.
The three-day event highlights Greenville's finest restaurants and musical entertainment on 3 music stages including the BB&T Main Stage on Broad Street just off Main Street beside the Greenville News building. Bring the kids too, the family will love the Childrens Area on Washington Street. A new addition to the event in 2008 is the BI-LO Culinary Stage featuring local and regional chef demonstrations - located on Coffee Street.
Whether you watch or participate, catch the spirit of friendly competition offered by the restaurants: tent decorating, waiter's race, Bartender Mix-Off, and the Silver Spoon competition challenges.
Your eyes and taste buds will also enjoy ice carving, chili cook-off, and much more. At every turn there's something to take in.
TONIGHT @ the Shworoom
Matthew Knights Williams CD RELEASE - 10/10/08 - Friday
8:30 pm - 11:30 pm
Tickets : $10
MATTHEW KNIGHTS WILLIAMS is a family man and artist living and working in Cowpens, SC. In the book, Hub City Music Makers, music writer Peter Cooper describes Matthew as “an enormously talented and undeniably magnetic performer.” After surviving a turbulent adolescence and young adulthood spent navigating the pitfalls of destructive excess, Matthew has arrived at a place of grateful acceptance where his musical works reflect his experience, talent, and the hard won maturity of his soul and character.
COTTONWOOD, the new solo release from Matthew Knights Williams, tells the story of two lifelong friends who travel the same path, yet meet with different fates. Written in response to the untimely death of a close friend, the recording is deeply introspective and intended as a cautionary tale. Matthew, an accomplished songwriter and guitarist, employed top Nashville session players Jimmy Carter, John Hobbs, Kerry Marx, Brent Mason, Scott Sanders, and Scott Williamson to present this intensely personal material to the listening public. The result is Cottonwood. Matthew’s powerful lyrics, instantly recognizable vocals, and contagious melodies are exper tly delivered with a thoughtful, pleasing balance of Americana, Roots, and Rock.
Matthew will be joined on this night by several other musicians including Wes Wyatt and The Skinnymen (Bob Hinch, Wes Wyatt, Carroll Foster, Frank Estes), Faysouxx, David Ezell, Matt Parks, Brandon Turner, Joy Finch, Kevin Heuer, Don McGraw, Steve Cantrell, Freddie Vandeford, Baker Maultsby, Marc Higgins, Annabelle Ranck and Master of Ceremonies Sander Morrison.
Saturday!
The Weather WILL BE EXCELLENT FOR THIS...
Sarah Witt Tipi Project - 10/11/08 - Saturday
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
"TENT(ative)"; a site-specific art installation to be on display in downtown Spartanburg near 101 East Main Street from October 11th through November 2nd. HUB-BUB artist-in-residence Sarah Witt has created life-size Native-American style tipis from salvaged and sustainable materials. "TENT(ative)" is a minimalist reconstruction of a traditional Plains Indian village. The collection and arrangement of the tipis will transform a vacant lot on Main Street into a lively green space by inviting the public to visit, explore and contemplate within the park-like environment.
The tents vary in height, from 10 feet to 17 feet, and each have a unique cover. The tipi skeleton is constructed from bamboo, a renewable resource. The tent covers are sewn from colorful plastic lumber tarps, which are discarded daily in every lumber yard. The concept of creating a structure from local sustainable materials parallels the Native Americans' model of resourcefulness in regards to their efficient and complete use of the buffalo. To respect the customary Indian formation, the doors to each unit will be facing the east.
We anticipate "TENT(ative)" to intrigue those who frequent downtown and additionally draw new visitors to the area. The unusual juxtaposition of modern waste materials with the humble iconic structure of the tipi will spur awareness, investigating issues of excess and sustainability. With its Native American roots, "TENT(ative)"will be a unique space that encourages spiritual reflection and positive human interactions. The opening reception for TENT(ative) will be October 11th, 2008, from 4pm until 6pm.
This event is free and open to the public.
