Asheville, NC 28801
USA
As part of City and stakeholder efforts to improve public space management and placemaking downtown, a collaboration between the City, Wall Street merchants and Asheville Downtown Association called Walkable Wall Street launches on Nov. 19, the same day as the Asheville Holiday Parade. Walkable Wall Street incorporates a temporary closure to cars along the corridor while promoting a festive pedestrian experience.
Immediately following the Holiday Parade, Santa Claus will ride through Wall Street to arrive at the Grove Arcade, where he will welcome visitors and pose for photos until 4 p.m.
Wall Street will remain closed to vehicles and open for festivities and shopping through 9 p.m. Businesses will offer extended hours and family friendly activities in the street and in stores, including gift basket building, leather cuff making, holiday ornament decorating, a scavenger hunt, live music and special promotions.
