Freedom Blast 2025 is behind us, and we want to thank everyone who attended and those who helped make it happen.
With more than 20,000 attendees, this year’s event was the largest Freedom Blast to date. It also drew the most veteran participation yet for the MSG Preston B. Johnson Veterans Walk.
Honoring local veterans is what the show is all about, and we’re grateful to the Greer community for showing them the respect they deserve.
We’ll share more Freedom Blast recap coverage in the coming days, so stay tuned.

Here’s what’s coming up this Week in Greer:
Sunday (6/29): Greer Farmers Market – 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. – Greer City Park
Friday (7/4): City Offices Closed for Independence Day


Freedom Blast will light up the sky tonight in downtown Greer, but some beautiful colors brighten up our streets during the day.
The City of Greer’s Urban Parks team thoughtfully plans, plants, and cares for a variety of flowers, plants, and shrubs in our downtown landscaping.
Here’s a beautiful example of their work at the corner of Trade and Randall – right in front of the Historic Greer Depot.
After the city’s streetscape project wrapped up in 2022, the team planted 16 pink and red hibiscus plants, eight purple diamond loropetalum, eight Golden Globe arborvitae, and two limelight hydrangea trees on that corner.
If you’re coming downtown this weekend, be sure to stop and enjoy the result of the team’s hard work.







We’re two days away from the 16th annual Freedom Blast event in Greer City Park.
Join us Saturday, June 28, from 6 to 10:30 p.m. for a military tribute, skydiving, live music, fireworks, and more.

Greenville County Schools honored the Greer Fire Department for giving high school students the opportunity to get real-world work experience.
At the district’s Business Partner Appreciation event at the CTE Innovation Center at Roper Mountain, district leaders recognized the Greer Fire Department as Bonds Career Center’s Business Partner of the Year.
Deputy Fire Chief Josh Holzheimer accepted the award. Holzheimer was instrumental in establishing a work-based learning partnership with Bonds several years ago. Selected students earn co-op placements where they get to work alongside professional firefighters and first responders. By the way, four former co-op students became full-time employees at the Greer Fire Department.


Improving the safety and accessibility of the city’s sidewalks…
The Public Services team recently replaced a 104-foot section of sidewalk on Duke Street where a utility installation had created a tripping hazard. On Hubert and South Miller, the team repaired a 74-foot section of sidewalk and added a new ADA mat.

Greer Night at the Greenville Drive is a home run for community pride.

Hope to see you at the ballpark to celebrate Greer on May 1!
