Are YOU READY for NERD PRIDE FEST 2024!!
Saturday, June 1st 2024 : 10am – 4pm
Asheville’s local artist convention every first Saturday in June in honor of Pride month! This is a fun, free way to celebrate pride month by supporting local artists and nonprofits who do incredible things for the queer LGBT+ community in western North Carolina.
Nerd Pride Fest was our first ever event in our current location. So it had to be to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reopening with food, games, live music, and more.
As a shop owned and operated by queer-identifying folks, The Nerd Dungeon is committed to being a safe and welcoming environment for people of all ages to express themselves any time of year, not just during Pride Month. We will always be a 3rd Place.
It is nice to have an excuse to go all-out and party, though! Pride Cosplay encouraged!

GREAT OPPORTUNITY to have an in-person healing session in ASHEVILLE by Chloe Kemp, award-winning best-selling author, seer, medium, and intuitive shamanic energy healer. Sessions available MAY 23 – JUNE 8 at location 2 blocks from Malvern Hills Park. Chloe utilizes her past life memories of ancient healing techniques, working with her Spirit guides to provide energetic emotional, physical, mental and spiritual healing. If Spirit has information about a client’s past life, Chloe receives sensations and visions, allowing her to see people, places and experiences from the past life. Frequently, stuck energy that causes problems in this lifetime involves a person’s trauma in a past life. Chloe will re-experience the trauma for you, clearing and releasing all energy that no longer serves you if her Spirit Guides determine it is necessary to clear a past life. She also balances your chakras and performs extra work on any physical, emotional, or spiritual areas her Spirit Guides deem necessary. Afterward Chloe assists her clients with processing the experience. For more information about Chloe, her spiritual memoir, and her healing work, visit https://www.chloekempwisdomkeeper.com
