Artisphere- this weekend in Greenville

Whew!  Is there a lot to do in Greenville, SC, this weekend, or what?  If you haven't already decided to go to the Happy Cow Creamery, you may want to take a look at this (or you may just want to do both).

Artisphere is going this weekend May 13th-15th, 2011.  This is the 6th year of this street packed event.   The event is free, however, you will be pressed hard to find free parking, that doesn't require a lengthy walk.  The event hours are as follows:

• Friday: 4-8:30pm
• Saturday: 10am-8:30pm
• Sunday: 11am-6pm

Artisphere is a large art festival where over 100 vendors come to show off their work. Anything from paintings, to sculpting, even the culinary arts.  Last year there was an amusing chalk artist working right on the sidewalks.  This even has been voted one of the top 20 events on the southeast. (source).

Crowded streets don't always scream kid friendly, however "Kidsphere" would be fun for little ones who have a crafty itch. This will be located at the Wyche Pavilion on Saturday from  10am-7pm and on Sunday from 11am to 6pm.

Moonlight Movies- Date Night Anyone?

It's May, and with that comes the Fidelity Investment Moonlight Movie Series.  Each Wednesday in the months of May and September Moonlight Movies host an outside movie event.

This FREE event is located along the Reedy River at the Peace Center Amphitheater and starts when the sun goes down (approximately 8pm).


Featured Films include:
May 11th - Batman (1966)
May 18th - Winchester 73 (1953)
May 25th- Will be viewers choice.  The city is allowed to vote, choices include: Babe (1996), The Country Girl 1954, and The Rookie (2002).  Vote Here!



I suggest getting to the amphitheater early to get good seating.  Viewers are welcome to bring lawn chairs, picnic baskets and the like.  However a $1 wristband fee will be required if you would like to consume alcohol.  This is a smoke free and pet free event.

Children are welcome at this event at the parents discretion, however, sometimes the movies gets a late start and you are more then likely going to be leaving the amphitheater a little after 10:30 pm.
