5 Fun Activities For Camper Parents

Everywhere you turn in Transylvania County, there’s amazing music being made. Catch a concert at the Brevard Music Center Summer Festival or live music at Oskar Blues Brewery, Brevard Brewing Company, 185 King Street or The Phoenix. Here’s a list of venues to get you started.

From downtown Brevard, it’s only 20 minutes to DuPont State Recreational Forest where you can see some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world (we’re not kidding). A 40 minute drive delivers you to the rugged and pristine Gorges State Park. The Jocassee Gorge has been named one of the “Last 50 Great Places on Earth” by National Geographic. It’s worth the trip to see why. Or take an afternoon paddle on the 3rd oldest river in the world, the French Broad

The Land of Waterfalls isn’t just a basecamp for adventure — it’s a seriously amazing destination for art and culture. Stroll downtown Brevard’s streets and pop into some of our amazing galleries, including Red Wolf Gallery and Number 7 Arts, just to name a few. Or you can drive the Scenic 276 Arts Corridor.

There’s always something awesome worth doing in downtown Brevard. It might be checking out a special exhibit at one of our celebrated galleries, a beer tasting at a local pub, a relaxing al fresco meal or the pursuit of that perfect something from one our boutiques. The map at the corner of Main Street and Broad (on the side of O.P. Taylor’s toy store) will clue you in to the location of every one of our downtown discoveries.

Take this winding road through Pisgah National Forest to the Parkway and enjoy all the sights: stop at Looking Glass Falls, take a short hike to Moore Cove Falls, visit the Cradle of Forestry and then enjoy a picnic lunch at one of the Parkway’s spectacular scenic overlooks.
