We're hard at work reviewing all the wonderful submissions for this November's festival!

In the meantime, enjoy this brag about how Greenville was ranked #3 as CNN's 2026 best towns to visit in America (there's even a specific video shoutout to Coffee Underground the iconic venue that hosts us)!

Buzzing with the downtown energy that many cities are starving for, Greenville makes the most of its urban waterfall, a trail that runs through town and the businesses along the way.
