It’s more than a magazine. BeLocal is a trusted resource that helps new residents discover the people, places, and businesses that make their community feel like home.

Every BeLocal guide is created with local insights, recommendations, and stories that connect neighbors with the businesses they can trust.

For local businesses, it’s an opportunity to get in front of new movers at the exact moment they’re looking for recommendations. For residents, it’s a guide to everything that makes their new community special.

Because feeling local starts with knowing local.

Reaching 10,000 people means nothing if none of them are your customer. 📊

That's the difference between advertising and advertising smart. When you're in BeLocal, you're not shouting into the void — you're in the hands (and kitchens, and mailboxes) of the exact neighbors who are searching for a new dentist, planning a kitchen remodel, or looking for their next favorite restaurant right here in the Tri-County.

No wasted impressions. No guessing who's on the other end. Just your business, in front of the people who are actually going to walk through your door.

Ready to reach the who, not just the how many? Let's talk!

This is what BeLocal is all about. 💙
When local businesses come together, communities grow stronger.
Our BeLocal North Indy Suburbs team recently hosted a Back-to-School Concert that brought neighbors together for an evening of live music, family fun, school supply donations, and plenty of opportunities to connect.
A huge shoutout to the local businesses, sponsors, activity partners, and community members who made it all possible. These moments remind us that BeLocal is about so much more than a magazine. It's about creating meaningful connections and helping people feel like they belong.
Here's to communities that show up for one another. 👏

Malt Disney World is a real place, and it's only about an hour from Anderson. 🍺

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. sits on 215 acres of land with mountain biking trails, gardens, an amphitheater, and a taproom serving food our writer called "out of this world" (the duck fries and pretzels with pimento cheese get a special mention).

Tours range from a free 45-minute Brewery Tour to the 3-hour B**r Geek deep-dive, so there's something whether you're a casual sipper or the friend who's been to 200+ breweries. 🍻

Our advice: check their events calendar before you go — the outdoor concerts are worth planning around. Tag your favorite day-trip crew! ✈️

Local businesses are looking for more than advertising. They’re looking for meaningful connections.

BeLocal gives businesses the opportunity to share their story, build trust, and become a familiar name to new residents in their community. 💙

Local shopping intel, straight from your neighbors:

📍At Emily's in Seneca, locals swear "you could go in with your eyes closed and pick out the perfect piece" — plus the best Brighton selection in the Upstate (25+ years!).

📍Phil Jewelers in Anderson is THE spot for a gift that wows.

📍And Elkmont Trading Company (Clemson & Piedmont) pairs high-end outdoor gear with staff who know every trail and lake worth your weekend.

Support local — your closet AND your community will thank you. 🧡

County spotlight: Pickens! 🏔️

Home to the highest point in all of South Carolina (Sassafras Mountain), Clemson University (founded 1889 on land that was once John C. Calhoun's plantation), and ranked the #1 county in SC for outdoor activities by Niche.

Lakes, mountains, Tiger football, and 119,000+ neighbors who are glad you're here. Pickens County, you're kind of a big deal. 🧡

Even on its broody days, Lake Hartwell shows off. ⛈️

This is Sadlers Creek, one of the many parks tucked along Hartwell's shoreline — and that water stretches farther than you think: the largest lake in the southeast United States, 50,000+ acres and up to 185 feet deep. It's home to Portman Marina (the largest inland marina in South Carolina), decades of major bass tournaments, and locals who'll tell you the fish don't care about the forecast. 🎣

Sunshine or storm clouds, lake life in the Tri-County is simply the best.

What's your favorite spot on Hartwell? Tell us below 👇

Shopping local? Kinda chic, actually. 💅

New to the Upstate? Here's the secret nobody tells you: you don't start feeling at home when the boxes are unpacked. It happens when the coffee shop owner learns your name. When the bakery down the street does your kid's first birthday cake here. When you walk in somewhere and you're a regular.

That's the whole aesthetic — and it's exactly what BeLocal is for. Every page is your shortcut to the Tri-County spots worth becoming a regular at. 🧡

Longtime locals: tag the business a newcomer needs to know about. Newcomers: consider this your starter list. 👇

Waterfall chasing, minimal effort required. 💦

Issaqueena Falls in Walhalla's Stumphouse Park has a viewing platform just a short walk from the parking lot — stroller-friendly adventure, big-time payoff.

The falls are named for the legendary Issaqueena, said to have ridden 96 miles on horseback to warn of a coming attack — the towns of Six Mile and Ninety Six still carry mile markers from her ride. Pair it with the Stumphouse Tunnel next door and you've got the perfect Tri-County day trip.

Tag someone who needs a waterfall day. 🏞️
