We’re In Full Bloom
The season of renewal is a magical time in Brevard and Transylvania County. Our forests are springing to life in a riot of colors. Our downtown is vibrant with restaurants opening their patios and outdoor dining areas. And live music at our craft breweries and nightspots creates the perfect soundtrack for the season. We invite you to be on hand when Mother Nature wakens from her winter slumber and throws a party for all to see.
White Squirrel Weekend
There’s no bigger celebration on our calendar than the annual White Squirrel Weekend, May 24-26. It’s a street party like no other, with first-rate live music, crafts, food, and fun for the whole family.
Get Social
Enjoy wine, craft beer, or a cocktail while taking in our new six-block Downtown Brevard social district. You can sip your drink and relax in abundant outdoor seating or stroll through our unique shops and boutiques that infuse the heart of our area with a unique, authentic energy. We also have 5 breweries with lots of outdoor seating if that’s more your speed.
4th Friday Gallery Walks
Beginning in May, downtown’s twenty galleries and a changing circle of local artists and merchants extend their hours well into the evening to accommodate shoppers and art aficionados alike. The Gallery Walk is a great excuse to stroll beneath the streetlamps at one of the loveliest times of the day.
Heart of Adventure
Our outdoor playground of over 100,000 acres of public lands opens up an unrivaled world of exploration for activities of every stripe. This time of year, the extreme green of our forests is simply mesmerizing! Make sure you take the time to get outside and soak in some of Mother Nature’s best work. We’ve pulled together a few ideas for you below.
