Spring Fashion in Asheville

As nature reinvents itself each spring, we have the tendency to reinvent ourselves . And why not? Spring is the perfect time to revitalize your expression to the world, and Asheville is all about personal expression.

Fashion is a big part of Asheville culture. Load up vintage styles or high-end wearable art at funky boutiques such as Bellagio or Jazzy Giraffe. Catch a fashion show at the nextAsheville HATCHfest, a convergence of luminaries in the world of art and entertainment.

Act on an Asheville Stage

The first official day of spring, March 20, happens to be the same day as the next No Shame Theater. Presented by the North Carolina Stage Company, it's the underground theater version of "open mic night" with impromptu performances in which anyone can take part. Arrive at 10 p.m. if you want to participate or 11 p.m. if you just want to watch.

If you prefer to stay in the audience, there are a number of places to watch genuine Asheville theater. Upgrade your Asheville experience by saving your ticket stub from participating venues for an Asheville Encore Ticket - a special deal from Biltmore. Asheville Encore Tickets are only available through March 26, so plan your Asheville vacation today!

Spring Bloom Schedule

Believe it or not, the spring equinox is right around the corner. On March 20 the days will be longer than nights. Soon hibernating animals will emerge, birds will return and plants will awaken. Before you know it, new leaves and blooming flowers will paint the mountains with fresh spring colors.

Where can you go to experience sights, sounds and smells of spring? Check out our recommended scenic spring drives. Take a short loop around town or cruise along high mountain ridges.
