Fall Saturdays in SC can’t be beat. And if you’re in town for a UofSC football game (go Cocks), you’ll likely end up in the Main Street District, where you can explore boutiques, local restaurants, and more.

Staying overnight?

The Holiday Inn is the latest edition to Main St.’s hotel roster (and if you’re bringing the kids, they stay free). Boutique experiences more your style? Hotel Trundle — which just made USA Today’s list of 2021’s 10 Best Historic Hotels — is the art-deco destination of your dreams.

Forgot to pack your tailgate t-shirt?

Just make a stop at Miss Cocky. You’ll find gameday apparel galore, and we wouldn’t be surprised if you walk out with a new outfit, too.

Searching for Sunday brunch?

Market on Main has you covered. Let the group choose from sweets like the Grilled Banana Bread or savory items like the Everything Bagel sandwich topped with grilled pancetta and fig jam. Main St. has tons of tasty options for your brunch needs — see a full list.

Want to score a gameday giveaway package?

Think: a weekend stay at the Holiday Inn, a $100 gift card for a pregame brunch at Market on Main, and a $100 gift card for a garnet + black shopping spree at Miss Cocky.
