Each year we make a New Year’s resolution to help us find our best year yet. Many times we pick resolutions that can be nearly impossible to uphold for 12 months during the year. Give yourself a break for the upcoming new year and give yourself a resolution that is both exciting and completely manageable. Of course, we are talking about making your way to Asheville for an exciting family vacation! There are few places as incredible as Asheville, and we have plenty of lively New Year’s Asheville events and activities in the area. Take a look at what a trip to Asheville will look like when you make it your New Year’s resolution to visit the area:

Heavy Mountain Music & Beer Fest
If you are a heavy metal music fan and also have a great taste in beer, you do not want to pass up on the Heavy Mountain Music & Beer Fest. Asheville hosts some truly impressive and unique events in the lineup, and this event will be a great way to kick off the new year in the area. The Heavy Mountain Music & Beer Fest has been rescheduled to take place on January 17th and 18th with a wide music lineup. You will be able to enjoy live music artists including Pelican, Generation of Vipers, and much more. The artists will take the stage across both days of the event giving you plenty of flexibility. Book one of our Asheville rentals to stay close to the event venue and have a space to return to for rest.
Of course, it would not be much of a beer festival without a just as impressive brewery list. You will find that favorite breweries from around the country will be on hand including Burial Beer, Trve Brewing, Resident Culture, Terra Nova Beer, and many more. Those who attend the event will receive a swag bag and entry into both days of the festival. Don’t miss out on this year’s Heavy Mountain Music & Beer Fest here in Asheville.
Explore Downtown Asheville’s Winter Season
Downtown Asheville sure knows how to celebrate the holidays in style. Each year, Downtown Asheville transforms the neighborhood into a winter wonderland. You will find holiday lights strung up around the street along with windows covered in winter décor and “snow”. Pritchard Park and Pack Square Plaza are where you will find the most lights hung up that offer a dazzling experience in the evening. The winter tends to be a slower season here in Asheville so lighten up the quieter time with family with the holiday décor in Downtown Asheville that will remain up until January 30th.
Asheville Restaurant Week
Whenever you travel somewhere new, you may have quite a few different activities you want to enjoy. One thing you probably have an eye on is trying as many new restaurants in the area as possible. Dining out so frequently can tend to add up quickly, taking a big chunk of your travel budget with you. However, there is one time of the year where you can enjoy several Asheville restaurants in a special way. We are talking about the Asheville Restaurant Week that will be returning in January 2025. Asheville features an award-winning restaurant scene where dozens of locally owned restaurants participate. Each restaurant offers a specialty menu that can feature special prices helping you try out smaller entrees at a discounted rate. This lets you get the chance to try out many of the restaurants in your stay without breaking the bank. Many of Asheville’s favorite restaurants participate each year giving you the chance to try them out. Make sure to get to your restaurants early as the event is very popular. Asheville Restaurant Week will have dates announced for this year’s event soon!
