RECORD BREAKER ALERT! Bank of America Fall for Greenville 2022 was A HUGE success.

More than 175,000 taste tickets were pre-purchased, a 36% increase from the previous high.
Pre-ticket sales came from 33 states and 2 countries.
Record crowds mean over $770,000 will go directly back to participating local food vendors. 
Food writers from GQ, Food & Wine, The Kitchen and EatingWell covered the event.

And it's not just vendors who benefitted. Downtown businesses saw a SPIKE.

Bonjour Main made more than 2,000 crepes in three days, sold out and closed early because of the demand.
Sully's Steamers sales increased 25% on Friday and 45% on Saturday.
Oil & Vinegar Greenville reported sales 30% higher than last year. 
Vintage clothing store Old Skool Outfitter, a new addition on Main Street, made more than six times their usual profit during the 3-day festival.

Mark your calendars for October 13-15, 2023 #FallforGreenville will be back!

SEC Women’s basketball tournament at the Well, Reedy River Rivalry game at Fluor Field, and Beetle Juice at the Peace Center are all this weekend downtown. Wow. I bet the hotels are filled and restaurants will be packed.

Furman beat UVA!  If they're able to beat SDST/Charleston on Saturday expect a good amount of coverage on Greenville. First tournament win since 1974

That was one heck of an ending! Congrats to the 'Dins! Would be great to see an all SC battle in the next game!

This was pretty awesome last night, real good crowd. Definitely see this becoming a big festival in the future.

Agreed. I thought they did a great job for the inaugural event. Should be a two day event next year, or at least a full day. Two stages seems appropriate for the time being.
