The City of Greenville Acoustic Café is a program to schedule and promote street performance at five downtown locations: Bowater Amphitheater, Piazza Bergamo, Hyatt Plaza, Court Square and the Shoeless Joe Jackson Plaza. Performance times are from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The Acoustic Café operates under a simple set of guidelines:

• Participants will apply for a performance permit at one of the five downtown locations. The City of Greenville Special Events bureau will select performers based on the type of performance and its family-friendly appeal.

• Performers are allowed to accept donations by using a city-allocated donation box. Merchandise (such as a performer’s CDs) may be sold, but must be pre-approved.

• Performers, once selected, are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
