”I love the many adventures that Greenville offers! I enjoy studying at the cozy coffee shops, family bike riding on the Swamp Rabbit trail, and Saturday mornings strolling through the farmers market. Our beautiful downtown provides endless options for a perfect night out. There's incredible cuisine, drinks, and live music around every corner.

”Greenville has become more "home" to me than where I grew up. The farmers market and brunch is my favorite way to start the weekend. My ideal day would involve a bike ride on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, catching a Drive game, getting lost in books at M. Judson, then enjoying an amazing meal on Jianna's patio.
Courtney Fillner@thelocal.greenville
”I love Greenville for its charm and people. It’s got the warmth of a small town and the energy of a big city! A must do when visiting Greenville is a Sunday brunch downtown, and a stroll in Cleveland Park.
Tyler Center@guysguidegvl
”Native of Greenville, there are so many things to list as a favorite! Some of my favorite places would include enjoying a “Sunday Funday” with my friends at Up On the Roof surrounded by bottomless mimosas, catching up with friends over a nice cup of coffee at Spill the Beans, finding a quiet corner at Coffee Underground to study while enjoying their amazing strawberry cake, taking a peaceful night stroll on the bridge in Falls Park, grabbing dinner on a Friday night from The Pasta Addict at GatherGVL, and having a nice date night at Jianna.

”Greenville is a hidden gem and I've loved sharing my experiences with friends and family in Charlotte. Recently, I brought my mom to explore the downtown area for a day trip. We stopped at Coffee Underground for my favorite Chai Latte, shopped at local boutiques, walked Falls Park on the Reedy, and the exquisite downtown dining options are endless, it makes it so hard to choose where to go.

Fun, funky and, often thrifty, there will be something for everyone!
We’ve joined forces with some of our amazing partners to ensure that you have the ultimate foodie experience. From a pit master boxing a cheesemaker to pop-up dinners and a power picnic, there will be food- or drink-related happenings that are not official euphoria ticketed events occurring throughout the festival weekend!
Check back next September for the 2022 Fringe Events!
We will be meeting all recommendations from both the CDC and South Carolina DHEC. If you purchase a ticket to an event, you will receive event-specific FAQs via email that will have the protocols & procedures in place for the event(s) you purchased a ticket to.
euphoria will be hosting quite a few smaller, seated gatherings like lunches, guest chef dinners and classrooms this year. Larger events will be held outdoors when possible, and capacity limits will be well below the maximum for each venue. Social distancing and masks are highly encouraged.

euphoria is organized and presented by Local Boys Do Good (“LBDG”), a non-profit organization exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Proceeds from euphoria are distributed by LBDG through direct grants to charitable organizations – mostly in upstate South Carolina – that focus on providing sustenance to those in need (food, hunger, and health), educating (through music, performing arts, or otherwise), or supporting children. We are also proud to say that in 2018 the 4-day festival created a local economic impact of $3.8 million.
See our Community Impact page for this year’s grant recipients and more information on our annual economic impact.
