Fall for Greenville kicks off next week!
At a press conference about the festival, Fall for Greenville Board Chair Tony McGuirt mentioned some changes to the festival, starting with the location of the kickoff concert.
This year's festival will start on the night of Thursday October 10th with a free concert on Main Street at Augusta Street.
Almost one mile will be covered with live ntertainment on six stages, culinary demonstrations, interactive mobile displays, and children's activities.
Over 70 local and national musical entertainers will take the stage.
Megan Finnern, the 2020 Fall for Greenville Chair, says 69 of the musicians are new to the festival.
Downtown Greenville will also be filled with over 250 signature tastes from 47 restaurants.
The kid's area, an entire block filled with rides and activities, will be on Broad Street.
Attendees can park at County Square and be picked up by a free shuttle service through Greenlink.
Bike valet will also be available.
Fall for Greenville is also partnering with 12 local nonprofits this year.
In the past, the festival has donated a total of more than $600,000.
The festival is October 11-13.
No cash is used at individual booths the festival; tickets are utilized instead.
In other words, tickets are bought with cash, and then those tickets are used for all food, beverages, and children's activities.
At the press conference, Stacy Brandon, the Upstate market president for Bank of America, reminded the public that there are 76 ATMs to get cash for the festival.
Festival tickets can be pre-purchased online prior to the festival.
Tickets can be purchased all weekend in person at the festival.
A sheet of 10 tickets costs $5.
