If Not Bele Chere, Then Where?
We recognize the Bele Chere scene in Downtown Asheville isn’t for everyone. So, in honor of those folks who might be surprised they’re in town on the same weekend as this illustrious festival, here’s a guide on what else to do…
Visit the Biltmore Estate - See Willow Winds’ excellent guide.
Drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway - If you’re lucky, everyone else will be Downtown, and you’ll have the road all to yourself.
Stroll the North Carolina Arboretum - Summer wildflowers are blooming!
Go swimming - The beach at Lake Lure is just a short drive from Willow Winds.
Shop ’til You Drop - The Asheville Mall has name-brand stores such as Hollister, Banana Republic and Victoria’s Secret.
