Welcome To Greer

Greer Station

Greer's Central Business District, also known as Greer Station, has become a destination in itself with approximately 12 square blocks of retail, dining, entertainment, and professional service organizations. Greer Station has more than 40 buildings on the National Historic Register.

A highlight during the summer season is “Tunes in the Park,” a Saturday evening concert series that draws hundreds of music lovers who enjoy songs under the stars. Visitors also flock to such downtown festivals as Greer Family Fest, Oktoberfest, Chili Cook-Off, and Wing Fling.

Greer Station took on a new look in 2008 as new municipal facilities opened to serve the public. A two-story Police and Court Complex anchors the west boundary of Greer Station, while the new three-story Greer City Hall and 12-acre City Park are just two blocks to the east. City Hall includes an entire floor dedicated to public space, with a 4,500-square-foot events hall available for conventions, receptions, and galas.

The city’s events staff keeps City Park the center of recreation in Greer, planning concerts and family festivals throughout the year. Freedom Blast, the City of Greer's annual independence celebration at City Park is a day full of music, fun, and fireworks not to be missed.

The Greer Cultural Arts Council keeps visual and theater arts thriving in the city, offering classes for budding and experienced artists of all ages and staging high-quality performances through the Greer Children’s Theatre.
