The amphitheater is the site of live concerts and other performances. Downtown Greenville wraps around the popular Uptown District, an area filled with restaurants, breweries, art galleries, antique stores, and boutiques.

Residents of Downtown Greenville have access to the Greenville Museum of Art, which hosts traveling and permanent exhibits as well as art classes and workshops. Every year, PirateFest draws thousands of visitors to Greenville. This event includes more than 150 vendors, an art sale, live music, demonstrations, a parade, kayak rids, and more.
