In the Southeast, Asheville has become a craft beer hotspot. Every year, new breweries open their doors, bringing with them fresh and different tastes to the Beer City USA palate. With so many possibilities, it’s virtually impossible to fit everything Asheville has to offer into a single weekend. What is our solution? Take a week off to celebrate! Clear your calendar now because you won’t want to miss out on any of the citywide events, such as brewery tours, tastings, and dinner pairing events.
Beer City Festival
121 College St
Asheville, NC

Takes from August 4 to 6, 2022.
This is the leading event for old-time and bluegrass music, and it is hailed as the country’s longest-running folk festival. Ballad singers, banjo players, and cloggers congregate here to tell stories of a bygone period via music and dance, preserving our historic Southern Appalachian culture in the process. If you can’t make it to this annual August event, check out Shindig on the Green, a smaller but equally vibrant concert series hosted for free on select Saturdays in downtown Asheville.
