WNC Farmers Market Spring Festival
The WNC Farmers Market is celebrating the season with their spring festival, offering a plant sale, local food shops, and food vendors on site. The free three-day festival running from Friday to Sunday will feature a huge plant sale with nearly 50 diverse growers, food trucks, and vendors like Hit the Pit BBQ, Purple People Feeder, and Blunt Pretzels.

Hillman Beer Celebrates 7th Anniversary
It’s a big weekend for Hillman Beer as they celebrate their seventh anniversary with live music and a new beer release called Stairway to Seven, an India Pale Lager. The light and crisp brew with hoppy notes was developed through a creative naming process involving staff suggestions and selecting hops based on song lyrics. The anniversary beer will be available until stocks run out.
