Asheville & Weaverville on the 4th of July. Coming Soon!!

The 4th of July in WNC is a special time. Not only do we celebrate our independence, but we celebrate the great community we live in. There are many things going on in and around Western North Carolina. Besides the downtown Asheville fireworks, I want to introduce you to 2 other events that are within 15 minutes of downtown AVL. Lake Julian on the southside in Skyland will be having their fireworks blazing and lots of people all around the lake enjoying the show. In Weaverville North Carolina on the northside, there is going to be a giant party happening with a lot of local Asheville bands and support. This is the biggest event of the year for Weaverville. Below is some more information about the bands that will be coming and also a call for sponsorship of this great event. Also see more about the event on MPAC's Website.
