Young Day of the Dead Festival goer after getting a skull painted on her face in honor of the Mexican holiday

The fall leaves aren't the only vibrant things in Greer this week.

Day of the Dead Festival

A colorful display of Mexican heritage took over the Center for the Arts on Friday at the Day of the Dead festival. The annual event included intricate art displays, dozens of vendors, and plenty of ways for visitors to immerse themselves into Mexican culture. Check out our article on the annual event here.

Loose Leaf Collection

The City of Greer is collecting leaves curbside now through February 5th, 2027. City crews will cycle through neighborhoods several times on a set schedule.

To join in, pile your leaves at the curb before your scheduled pickup dates and make sure there are no rocks, sticks, or other debris that could damage the equipment. You can find more information on the leaf collection program here.
