Down the Hatch Festival
12 Old Charlotte Hwy #200
Asheville, NC 28803
USA
The Down the Hatch Festival at Highland Brewing Company begins with an afternoon full of live music, the latest in outdoor and fly-fishing gear, great food and world-class beer, and a chance to watch the best of the best showcase their skills in the Orvis Guide Olympics. As evening falls, follow the crowd into Highland’s taproom to take part in a screening of the celebrated Down The Hatch Film Festival! Proceeds from ticket sales and a fifty cents from each beer pull go to the Land O’ Sky Chapter of Trout Unlimited and their efforts on several local stream conservation projects.
Each film festival ticket includes entry into an incredible raffle… and when we say raffle, we don’t mean just tee shirts and ball caps (though there will be those too). Down the Hatch Raffle Prizes include a bunch of new Orvis equipment, an incredible range of gear from our Down the Hatch Sponsors and the grand prize—a once-in-a-lifetime getaway for two to an undisclosed world-class destination! Don’t miss the opportunity to take part!!!
