What began in Greenville, SC as a spark between a restaurateur and a musician has ignited into one of the Southeast’s premier food, wine, and music festivals. Now celebrating 20 incredible years, euphoria has evolved from a passionate idea into a beloved four-day experience that draws attendees from across the country. This milestone year marks two decades of unforgettable flavors, soulful sounds, and unmatched hospitality.
Over the last 19 years, euphoria has built its reputation on exclusive tasting events, intimate musical performances, hands-on cooking demonstrations, engaging wine seminars, and unforgettable multi-course dinners. As we toast to twenty years of euphoria, we’re turning up the volume, raising our glasses higher, and diving even deeper into the vibrant community that makes it all possible.
Renowned for its up-close-and-personal culinary, musical, and educational experiences, euphoria puts you front and center with celebrated chefs, award-winning musicians, craft brewers, master sommeliers, and one-of-a-kind events you won’t find anywhere else.
As a nonprofit festival, euphoria is proud to give back—supporting local charities and uplifting the Greenville community that has fueled its success. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time guest, this anniversary celebration is the perfect time to eat, sip & listen like never before.
Feast by the Field is euphoria’s biggest tasting event—and the ultimate celebration of flavor, craftsmanship, and culinary creativity. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time guest, get ready to sip, sample, and savor your way through an incredible lineup of chefs, winemakers, brewers, and regional distillers.
Catch live cooking demonstrations on the Eat & Sip Stage, enjoy bold brews and bites from Lowes Foods, and discover standout dishes from South Carolina Chef Ambassadors, all showcasing the best in locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flair.
Set against the lively backdrop of Fluor Field in the heart of downtown Greenville, the atmosphere is vibrant, the flavors are unforgettable, and every turn offers something new to taste or try.
On Sunday, the experience also pays homage to one of euphoria’s most beloved traditions—Jazz Brunch—with chefs serving up creative brunch bites and smooth sounds from The Soda City Brass Band and Java filling the air. It’s a perfect blend of elevated food, laid-back rhythm, and undeniable euphoria energy.
We’re thrilled to bring back one of euphoria’s most heartwarming fan-favorites—the Healthy Lunchtime Throwdown, happening during Feast by the Field (Sunday)! This spirited cooking competition features four talented student chefs from Greenville County Schools, each paired with an inspirational chef acting as their sous chef in a high-energy, head-to-head cook-off. These young culinary stars will showcase their creativity, confidence, and passion for healthy cooking as they compete for more than just bragging rights—the winning dish will earn a spot on the Greenville County Schools menu rotation for the upcoming school year! It’s fun, flavorful, and full of inspiration—proof that the future of food is already cooking.

Back by popular demand, the third Annual Mountain Monarch Festival will be at Gorges State Park in Sapphire on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This free event, hosted by the park and sponsored by the Friends of Gorges State Park and other partners, will celebrate the monarch butterfly during its migration and raise awareness about the species’ declining numbers. The park lies along the monarchs’ migratory route. The butterflies can be seen in early October each year flying over the park, heading south to the high-elevation fir forests in central-southern Mexico’s Volcanic Belt, where they overwinter until early spring.
The festival will offer educational programs and exhibits as well as children’s crafts, face painting by Brevard College cheerleaders, a butterfly hike, and a Monarch Migration Passport to guide visitors through the activities. The featured speakers will be Heyward Douglas, an entomologist who is a former naturalist and has served on the Foothills Trail Conservancy’s board of directors since 1989, who will talk about visiting the wintering area for the monarchs in Mexico, and Brian Bockhahn, interpretation and education specialist for North Carolina State Parks, who will discuss “Monarch Life Cycle and Tagging.”
The event, activities and programs are free and open to the public. The event will be held rain or shine and is first-come, first-served. For event details, visit https://www.friendsofgorges.org
