Downtown Greenville Partnership and the City of Greenville invite the community to join us for the next Freeboot Friday on October 17, following ECU’s home game against Tulsa.

This free, family-friendly event will take place from 5:30– 8 p.m. in Five Points Plaza, located at the corner of 5th Street and Evans Street in Downtown Greenville.

This month’s Freeboot Friday will feature live performances by two fan favorites — Lonnie Britton and Morgan Hudson & Co. Get ready for an evening full of great local music, food vendors, cold drinks, and plenty of Pirate spirit!

Guests can enjoy a variety of offerings including:

• Beer from Carolina Eagle Distributing

• Sup Crushes, presented by SupDogs and Crush Vodka

• A Kids Zone, sponsored by NuLook

• Delicious food from Anita’s E.C. Italian Ice, Nash, Nothing Bundt Cakes, The Rock Food Truck, and Sparky’s Snowballs

Freeboot Friday is the perfect way to kick off the ECU football weekend and celebrate with friends, family, and fellow Pirates in the heart of Downtown Greenville. Freeboot Friday is proudly presented by the Downtown Greenville Partnership, City of Greenville, and Orthopaedics East.
