The Asheville Downtown Association is a membership organization focused on promoting and supporting quality economic, cultural and residential development of Downtown Asheville. We do that through advocating for issues important to downtown and programming special events to bring residents and visitors to downtown. Events include Downtown After 5, Easter on the Green, the Independence Day Celebration, Asheville Oktoberfest and the Asheville Holiday Parade.
We’re looking to focus on smaller scale events to provide a new and unique activity for locals to attend. This is our first time producing an event of this kind, and depending on its reception, it may take place around downtown at different times of year.
