My job is sending me to Columbia once every two months and Greenville every other month. I am coming to Greenville the second weekend in August and are there any festivals are going on then and where the vibrant nightlife districts are? I loved Columbia's Vista District this past weekend and am looking for the same type of area with quality White AND Black nightclubs in the same area. I love acoustic, r&b (not hip hop), jazz, soul, and bluegrass (not country) clubs. And I was hoping downtown Greenville offers this type of a diverse nightlife experience.

There is a bunch down there. Crowded every weekend. You should have plenty of fun. There is a jazz place called Brownstreet that's really nice.
