Asheville, NC – Asheville transforms this time of year, trading autumn’s long glow for a holiday season lit by creativity. Biltmore’s holiday splendor, the National Gingerbread House Competition, and Winter Lights at the NC Arboretum (now joined by the U.S. debut of Trolls: A Field Study by Thomas Dambo!) anchor a growing lineup of seasonal favorites.
Outdoors, ice skaters trace slow circles at the newly opened Holiday Ice Rink in downtown Asheville, while nearby towns like Black Mountain and Weaverville gather for tree lightings, and markets across the region brim with makers sharing their stories.
Music, theater, and community weave through it all, making this a season to wander, gather, and feel Asheville’s deeply-rooted, ever-evolving spirit shine.
