Because many of the start and end times of the graduation ceremonies coincide with regular business hours, the City of Greenville and the Greenville Police Department are working closely with the Bon Secours Wellness Arena staff to address issues such as traffic flow and parking that may affect local residents and business owners. 

Guests for the graduation ceremonies are encouraged to carpool and arrive early. Doors will open 60 minutes prior to the start of each event.

No outside food, beverages or balloons are allowed inside the arena.  Please also remember that Bon Secours Wellness Arena has a clear bag policy. Each guest will be permitted to carry one large clear bag, either a Ziploc style bag or a 12”x6”x12” clear bag, plus a small clutch purse (4.5”x 6.5”). The small clutch must be carried into the venue outside the clear bag and is subject to search.
