Even though this has been an unprecedented year, with it’s share of challenges and surprises, BLMC is so grateful for our wonderful community that has helped make this year a success! We are focusing on all of the amazing opportunities happening right here at home. Greenville has shown its resiliency and support for small businesses, and we want to highlight a few of these activities you can enjoy in the coming months. Downtown Greenville There are plenty of ways to enjoy downtown Greenville while still safely socially distancing! Ice on Main is open November 13 through January 31 at 206 S Main St. There is a limit to the number of skaters allowed at one time, so visit their Facebook page to reserve your spot before you go. As a bonus, Pink Mama’s Ice Cream is open each week Friday through Sunday as a fun treat after you work up an appetite with all of that skating! The TD Farmer’s Market is hosting a Holiday Edition Essential Market November 28, December 5, and December 12 from 9am to 1pm on Main Street. This is the perfect opportunity to complete your holiday shopping while supporting local businesses for unique artisan gifts. Strolling through Greenville is even more fun when it’s a winter wonderland! Downtown merchants are decorating their windows in festive attire, and visitors can vote for their favorite window scene December 9-19 by visiting the Greenville, South Carolina Official City Government Facebook page! Greer Bundle up, bring your mask, and head down to Greer’s Christmas tree lighting event on December 4 at 7:30pm. If you are looking for an all-day affair, The Greer Station Vintage Market is open the same day 2-8pm and Saturday, December 5 from 9am-4pm. Greer’s Christmas parade is Sunday, December 6th at 2:30pm and the theme is “Christmas Melodies”. Santa will make an appearance, and be sure to remain in groups with those you live with! Simpsonville The second annual Simpsonville Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony will be December 3rd at 6pm. Kaffeine Coffee Shop and Roastery is sponsoring, along with Jordan Johnson and Nikki Sword. There is also a parade sponsored by Weichert Realtors on Sunday, December 6th to enjoy.
