Activities and Entertainment

Asheville is a year-round playground where the saying goes, "Altitude affects attitude." The holiday season abounds with light festivals, Inn tours, dazzling sites at the Biltmore House, exceptional shopping and the famous Gingerbread House competition at the Grove Park Inn. Winter brings skiers and snowboarders to the area and spring is a wonderful time to explore the beautiful gardens at the North Carolina Arboretum. Summer is a virtual playground and time to check out the regions' rivers, lakes and hiking trails. And, music, dining, cultural and art fairs, museums, and live theatre all contribute to the rich and diverse fabric that is Asheville!
