Vermont Avenue Halloween
Vermont Ave
Asheville, NC 28806
USA
Thousands of people gather in a family-oriented event where the streets are free and safe from any car traffic, thanks to the efforts of a core of volunteers and neighbors. Please sign up to volunteer! If you can’t volunteer, please donate to help with the cost, buy candy for the residents and add to the volunteer booty bag! We are looking for local business sponsors as well.
Parking on side streets is limited and discouraged. Parking is suggested at West Asheville Park or along Haywood Rd. Better yet, walk or bike!
Most of Vermont Avenue (open Google Map) and parts of side streets will be closed to car traffic (see roads shown in black on the map). As always, barricades are manned to allow access to EMS vehicles.
Residents within the “Closed” area are encouraged to avoid entering/exiting during the closure and visitors should plan to park outside the closure. Westgate Rd has been added as “closed to through traffic” by the City of Asheville this year to create a safer traffic flow (access available for residents and EMS).
Barricades will go up at 5:30pm and come down at 9pm.
At closing, residents will no longer be handing out candy (they will likely be out of candy before 9pm!) and are welcomed to turn out the lights and call it a night.
