In addition to story times for the little ones (see our calendar for those), our local libraries have several clubs, classes, and other fun programs on their calendars for families with kids of all ages. And, unless they specify that you must register in advance for an event, you won’t likely need a library account with that county to attend them!

The Annual Tulip Extravaganza is in full bloom in downtown Hendersonville!
“It’s been a challenging year, but spring is upon us, which means downtown will soon be in full bloom,” said Barbara Hughes, owner of Narnia Studios and sponsor of the annual Tulip Extravaganza.
The event generally runs late March – April 30, including Easter (April 20) and Passover (April 12-20) this year. Downtown merchants are hoping residents will bring their out-of-town guests for a month of colorful shopping and dining.
Businesses will also have unique ways to welcome the crowds and spring!
“Many businesses will have tulip-themed displays in their windows as well as offering their spring specials, including sidewalk sales April 11-12,” said Hughes, who, as a florist, created the celebration and subsequent tulip photo contest.
Residents can enter their best tulip photos in the contest at Narnia Studios! Photos must be taken in downtown Hendersonville, and the deadline to enter is April 25.
Winners will be announced April 29!
Hughes has been in love with flowers for as long as she can remember. She is still surrounded by blooms, as 8,000-10,000 tulips brighten the planters on Main Street when spring arrives.

If you haven’t heard of Kids in Parks or TRACK Trails yet, you’ve been missing out! TRACK Trails is a trail program that was started here in Asheville (but has since spread across the country!) by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, a network of local Pediatricians, and the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, to “promote children’s health and the health of our parks”, and we have several in our area. Kids in Parks is an ever expanding network of family-friendly, self-guided outdoor adventures, and “include hiking trails, biking trails, geocaching trails, paddling trails, nature trail disc golf courses, and even adventures you can do in your own back yard”. Register your child online, and as they complete the trail, they earn prizes for tracking their adventures! Best of all, it’s all FREE!
Our comprehensive guide to Asheville Area Playgrounds is your ultimate resource for recreation in Asheville with kids!

This guide is a continuous work in progress, and we will keep adding to it, so keep checking back!

The Curb Market has been a local Hendersonville tradition since 1924. What began as a group of farmers bringing their extra produce to town for the “city folk” has expanded over the years to include some of the freshest fruits & vegetables, plants & fresh cut flowers, homemade jams, jellies & baked goods and hand made mountain crafts.
A favorite of locals and visitors alike, the Curb Market always has something different. Each vendor brings his specialty items for a unique collection of offerings. Come visit and make new friends while enjoying some of the best that Henderson County has to offer.

Asheville is an amazing city with so much to see and do, and while we have some amazing group tour companies, sometimes we want to venture out on our own to learn about the culture and history of our area … with just our family, on our schedule and timetable, to explore our interests, on our own path. A great way to do that, and a great way to save some money (THESE ARE ALL FREE), is to take one of the many self-guided tours that have been created by our local experts at our tourism centers, and historic sites. We’ve compiled the list attached of some of our favorites for you, with links to them all, that we hope you will enjoy and learn as much from as we did and still do. If we’re missing any of your favorites, let us know, so that we can share them, too!

Explore our brewery nestled in the Appalachians.
When we brewed our first batch of beer in 1980 in Chico, California, the lush forests of North Carolina were far from our mind. Over the last four decades, our thirst to brew quality, flavorful beer led us across the country and around the globe. In 2012, we broke ground on our second production location in order to send the freshest beer possible to our friends and fans all over the world. Come visit our sprawling East Coast home in Mills River, North Carolina and see first-hand how determination and a pioneering spirit can lead to incredible adventures. Our tours fill up quickly. You must make reservations online for all tours except the Guided Tastings and the self-guided Visitor Corridor.

Church parking is located in the first lot to the west of the Parish Office building and behind the Basilica. On weekends additional parking available is in the large gated lot across the street.
The Basilica’s parking lots are clearly marked “Church Parking.” Parishioners and the many Visitors who attend Mass at the Basilica usually find our parking adequate unless they arrive late. There is no charge for parking to attend daily and weekend Masses, and other church activities.
When visiting the Basilica please pay close attention to our parking lot signage, as parking in non-church lots may result in the unpleasant, expensive experience of having your vehicle towed.

All participants receive a prize, and each race has a prize for the winner, as well. Our goal is to have the final runner not finish alone, so we are asking for volunteer run companions. The purpose of the Wee Rocket Race is to encourage & empower future runners to participate, & that means just running is a win!
