The Mountain Goats

Explore the mountain after hours with your own personal guides during our Grandfather by Night series! You’ll discover some of the park’s nighttime wonders, watch a stunning sunset (weather permitting) and experience the mountain as never before! The Twilight Hike version will include a hike after sunset to discuss and look for the creatures that are more active after the sun goes down. The group will explore a unique forest ecosystem from top to bottom in search of salamanders, owls, flying squirrels, fireflies and any other creatures they might come across. The Twilight Hike program is not accessible to guests with limited mobility. Participants signed up for this version will need to participate in the hike, as staying behind while the rest of the group hikes is not possible. Advance registration required.

The word craft-itarianism was coined by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez to name artistic projects that generate employment, raise awareness, or offer therapeutic support through craft. These programs provide a space where people affected by addiction, incarceration, and gun violence can find solidarity while learning a skill.

Craft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft celebrates nonprofits and artists who believe in—and actively practice—the power of craft to support and empower individuals and communities.

This exhibition was curated by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez. Launched in 2017, the Curatorial Fellowship supports emerging curators exploring new ideas about craft with mentorship, professional development, and a $5,000 honorarium to realize an exhibition.

Asheville’s automotive history will come to life this spring when dozens of classic Chrysler and other vintage automobiles line Coxe Avenue for the free Motor Mile Classic Car Show in downtown Asheville taking place May 30, 2026.
Taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 30, the show will stretch along Coxe Avenue between Hilliard and Buxton Avenues - once the city’s original “Motor Mile” and its first zoned automobile district. The free, outdoor event pays tribute to the dealerships and service centers that defined the street during Asheville’s early automotive era.
The car show coincides with the Spring Meet of the Chrysler 300 Club International, an organization dedicated to preserving the history of the 1955-1965 Chrysler 300 “Letter Series.” Club members will be joined by local and regional car clubs from across Western North Carolina and representing a wide range of makes and models, creating a diverse and visually striking lineup.

The Motor Mile Car Show is free to enter a car and attend.

Take a daily, short, guided stroll that highlights Grandfather Mountain’s rhododendron species and blooms.

Staff naturalists will also have a display inside Wilson Center. Included with admission.

Hi - this is Trey! I'm supposed to tell you all my accomplishments in this bio but there's NO way anyone would read that. I just hope you come to my show and bring your friends and family; this is my favorite show I've written yet. You can check out my most recent special "GROW UP" on Hulu or my Youtube channel. I promise to give you a good time and in return I just ask for your thoughts and prayers - I'm bringing my wife and 2 kids under 2 on the tour bus. See y'all there!

Don't miss an afternoon of heartfelt Americana by Caleb Caudle and the Sweet Critters at Asheville's prettiest riverside venue, the Olivette Riverside Pavilion.

Caleb Caudle’s body of work is shaped from the ground up. His artistry has emerged through endurance and the steady momentum of a life in motion, carrying him from small stages in the North Carolina foothills he calls home, all the way to the Grand Ole Opry.

On his new album, Heavy Thrill, this personal evolution mirrors his artistic journey. He takes full creative control, self-producing for the first time while recording at the storied Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, Tenn., where reverence for tradition meets his singular artistic vision.“For this record, I wanted to focus on embracing the patina of life,” says Caudle. “Our plans rarely shake out the way we want them to. This record is about doing the most with what you’re given and weathering the storms.”Caudle has brought his music to stages across the world, with standout appearances at festivals including Merlefest, Luck Reunion, Kerrville Folk Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Stagecoach, and Cayamo, alongside a run of critically acclaimed albums praised by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, No Depression, and Rolling Stone. He has made multiple appearances on NPR’s Mountain Stage and has been a guest DJ on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country, where his songs are in constant rotation. In the fall of 2024, Caudle reached a career-defining milestone, stepping into the circle at the Grand Ole Opry for the first time.
