wake up, Spring is in full bloom in brevard

Welcome to one of the most spectacular seasons in Brevard and Transylvania County. Our forests are showing their brightest palette, our downtown is bright and alive with art, music, shopping, and food, and adventure abounds wherever you look! You’re invited to be on hand when Mother Nature wakens from her winter slumber and throws a party for all to see.

WHITE SQUIRREL WEEKEND

We look forward to this event all year long. There’s no bigger celebration on our calendar than White Squirrel Weekend, held annually on Memorial Day weekend. It’s a street party like no other, with first-rate live music, local vendors, delicious food, and fun for the whole family.

WILDFLOWER WALKS

One of the many reasons we look forward to spring each year in the mountains is the return of wildflowers to our protected lands. Throughout the forests and parks of Transylvania County, you’re likely to encounter a number of different blooms, from Trillium and Pink Lady Slippers to Bloodroot and Violets. Pick up a wildflower guidebook from one of our local outfitters so you can greet them by name!

OUTDOOR DINING

Spring in Transylvania County is the perfect time to enjoy a meal outdoors. With the mountains in bloom and mild breezes in the air, local patios and scenic spots invite you to savor the season. Pair your meal with fresh mountain views or grab a seat at one of our five breweries, where you can sip craft beer while soaking up the sunshine. Spring dining here is as refreshing as the season itself.
