Euphoria GVL 2024 Schedule – Events to Attend for Every Budget
Hello, Foodie Friends. š¤ It’s that time of year again when the Euphoria Greenville organization releases its (2024) Schedule! We recently attended the Release Party and are bringing you all the latest news, including the Best Events to Attend this September for Every Budget! š
One of the biggest concerns I hear from foodie fans is they’ve never been to Euphoria events because it’s out of their budget. We’ve been very fortunate over the last four years to have been invited as influencers to bring you behind-the-scenes access to many events. Check out this video below for our inside scoop of the Schedule Release event from April 9th!
However, not being able to attend this year based on budget shouldn’t be the case! We rounded up a fantastic list of Euphoria events for all budgets, from “Refreshingly Reasonable”, to “Midpoint Musts” to “Living Lavishly”. We’re hoping this allows anyone who wants to attend the festival to do so. Tickets go on sale on April 18th, 2024 at 10 am EST! Check out the full schedule link here for the entire list of events (our list isn’t exhaustive). Generally, the below prices, unless noted otherwise, are for one ticketholder or event only. Nevertheless, we have included some bundle events and ticket packages, so make sure to check the full list we’ve included for all our favorite picks from this year’s lineup! š
