Hampton Pinckney Pre-Porchfest Patio Party on Sunday, October 19th!

Join us at our townhouse and patio at The Hamptons in Greenville on Sunday, October 19th starting at 11:00 am until 1:00 pm for a Pre-Porchfest Party!

We are at 325 Hampton Ave, #105 (the carport side of our historic brick building). Our condo is centrally located smack-dab in the middle of the several performance porches in the neighborhood.

The historic Hampton-Pinckney neighborhood in Greenville is proudly hosting its fifth annual porchfest event, which will be held on Sunday October 19th from 1:00pm – 6:00pm and will feature musical performances on several historic porches on Hampton Avenue, Pinckney Street, and Lloyd Street in the Hampton-Pinckney historic district. This event is free and open to the community.

This is a BYOB event of adult beverages and non-alcoholic drinks (note that a wristband must be purchased at the porchfest event if you wish to carry alcohol to various performances). We will be providing various adult and soft beverages for our patio gathering, as well as finger foods. We don’t require you to bring any of your own food or drink to share, but doing so is appreciated.

After our gathering, you will have a short walk to attend the many Porchfest performances. Again, our townhouse is centrally located for the event, with 5 musical performance porches on Hampton Ave and 6 performance porches on nearby Pinckney St.

This year, 24 bands (as of 10.5.25) will be performing for what I and many others believe is the most loved of all annual entertainment events in Greenville.

The purpose of Porchfest is to highlight the array of local musical talent and historic architecture in Greenville while enjoying Greenville’s first National Historic District – Hampton-Pinckney. This is a FREE OF CHARGE walkabout musical festival. More info: https://hpporchfest.org/

Suggestions for attending Porchfest after our patio gathering:
*Bring water bottles for hydration during the event.
*Bring a lightweight chair or blanket to sit on at the performance porches.
*Bring sunscreen or a hat or whatever else is needed for an afternoon outdoors.
*Do not walk with an open alcohol container on any streets or sidewalks not blocked for the event. If you are carrying alcohol, look for the “No Alcohol Beyond This Point” signs.
*Anyone 21 years old or older wishing to consume alcohol on public property must wear a City-approved wristband (wristbands can be purchased at the event for $1).
*Various porches will host various artists throughout the afternoon. Performances are staggered at different times from 1:00pm to 6pm. See the above-listed website for a schedule and map.
*The event site will have vendors selling beverages and food, as well as merchandise.

Note that the streets where the event is happening will be closed to any motorized vehicles, including golf carts. Parking is available in numerous parking lots surrounding the area. We recommend one of a number of parking lots off Washington St between Lloyd St and Academy St. Or at Unity Park off Hudson. Parking is available in numerous parking lots surrounding the area. Greenville Heritage Federal Credit Union, Greenville Water System, and the Greenville County Library parking lots are available. Also, the closest street parking is available on Asbury.
