What NOT to Bring to Greer Family Fest

The 29th Annual Village Hospital Greer Family Fest begins at 6 p.m. Friday.

While organizers do want you to have fun, there are some things that just aren't allowed at the festival.

So here's your list of What NOT to bring:

• No alcohol
• No coolers
• No skates, skateboards, scooters or bicycles
• No pets (assistance dogs are permitted)

What DO you bring?:

• Bag chairs or blankets for those FREE concerts
• Family and friends
• Money for your concessions and any rides (And, there's an ATM on site, too!)
• And, an appetite for fun

Where do I park?

The public lot near the Greer Police Department, Cannon and Jason Streets, School Street, and other public parking lots. Organizers said some parking spaces will be used for events space, so be patient and be prepared to walk a block or two.
