Entertainment

Top-Notch

From the Bardo Arts Center Theater at Western Carolina University to the many community theaters, stage productions abound across the region. Professional stage performances in Asheville and nearby Greenville, South Carolina, give you even more options. Live musical concerts from national entertainers of every genre— including symphonies, pop, jazz and bluegrass —abound in Asheville, Hendersonville and Cherokee. Outdoor concerts under the sun or stars let you sit and sip wine while enjoying the sounds. Close by is Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, where you can try your hand at one of hundreds of gaming tables or take in national touring shows and comedians. Bring along your camera and visit the Biltmore Estates, America’s largest home and one of the largest family-owned estates in the country. Tour the gardens for acres of beautifully sculpted landscapes and trails for walking, biking, jogging or horseback riding. And don’t forget to make a reservation for their exceptional wine tasting tour; it’s by far one of my favorite things to do here. Fine, casual, outdoor and downhome eating awaits you in every nook and cranny of the mountains surrounding your home. Asheville has made dozens of best-of lists when it comes to the culinary arts, with some of the most talented chefs in the world. And arts, crafts and home goods are available from local artisans. Fill your home with custom furniture and one-of-a-kind artwork. Galleries, special shows and outdoor festivals pepper the region with opportunities to explore the new and old Appalachian Art of Western North Carolina.
