A foodie’s dream is headed to the Upstate. Euphoria 2024, presented by Lexus, will take place from Thursday, Sept. 19, to Sunday, Sept. 22. It will bring the likes of Food Network star Emeril Lagasse, D.C. area Michelin chef Ryan Ratino, and various Greenville culinary talents to host various food and beverage-based events around the city.
Lagasse will be in Greenville on Friday, Sept. 20 at Avenue, located at 111 E. Court St., hosting a Michelin meet & greet event alongside his son, E.J., and Chef Ryan Ratino. The event is officially sold out.
The four-day festival will feature nearly 50 food-centric ticketed events, including tastings, cooking and wine seminars, educational sessions, musical performances, and signature chef events, highlighting Greenville’s emerging food scene.
While many of the upcoming mouthwatering events are sold out, there are still more than 10 opportunities to participate in the food and beverage tastings that exemplify why Greenville is becoming a foodie space with many menus and flavors to enjoy.
