In the Upstate, we’re never short on things to do – at any time of the year.

Now, you can enjoy discounts on a lot of what the Upstate has to offer with the Upcountry Insiders Pass from Upcountry SC.

This mobile exclusive passport is a collection of more than 40 curated attractions, retailers, restaurants and more that are offering prizes and discounts to redeem during your visit. Signing up for the pass is free.

“The Upcountry Insider Pass program will help us to bring more visitors to our members and partners, said Tim Todd, Executive Director of Discover Upcountry Carolina Association. “It will also allow us to keep in communication with the folks who sign up for the pass so that we can invite them to come back to the area again and again.”
