Ribbon cutting invites families, pets and neighbors to celebrate new community spaces, local art and free treats

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (Sept. 4, 2025) –Tanger Outlets Asheville will officially unveil its brand-new dog park and children’s play area on Saturday, Sept. 13, inviting the community to gather for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. Guests can look forward to free treats for kids and pet owners, plus an afternoon filled with fun, connection and celebration.

Designed as a hub for families and neighbors, the spaces highlight Tanger’s commitment to creating communal experiences that go beyond shopping. The dog park offers green space for pups to run and play, complete with shaded seating for owners and a convenient watering station. Nearby, little ones can explore an elevated walking trail, perch on whimsical bear-shaped seating and enjoy picnic tables perfect for family time outdoors.

Adding to the charm, colorful murals from Asheville artists Gus Cutty and Kathryn Crawford bring the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains to life on site, creating vibrant backdrops for community gatherings.

This event is free and open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to bring the whole family – two-legged and four – for the festivities. Free treats for kids and pet owners while supplies last.

This event is FREE and open to the public.

The 16th West Asheville Garden Stroll is Saturday, September 13 from 11 AM to 4 PM. It features 13 diverse gardens in the Falconhurst neighborhood, north of Haywood Road between Mitchell Avenue and Louisiana. Stroll Guides with a map and garden descriptions will be available from 11:00 until 3:30 at the parking lot across from West Asheville Baptist Church, 926 Haywood Road. (Note to regular attendees: there’s no kickoff program this year.)

The Garden Stroll is free, and all are welcome to join in this community event, rain or shine. However, leave your four-footed friends at home — dogs are not allowed in the gardens.
In keeping with our “stroll” concept, we encourage you to park at one of the WAGS-designated lots on Haywood Road and walk or bike the 2.5 mile route.
This year’s gardens include a permaculture “grass to food” yard with all kinds of edibles; formal designs and eclectic ones that have evolved over time; a “photographer’s paradise;” a large Bountiful Cities community garden hidden among residential streets; whimsical yard art; and of course, chickens. You’ll see new and mature gardens as well as works-in-progress, all offering the chance to chat with friendly and enthusiastic gardeners.
Our theme, Entwined, was inspired by the amazing interconnectedness of nature. In a healthy garden the plants, insects, birds, fungi and soil bacteria form an interdependent community that allows them all to thrive. The same is true in a healthy neighborhood. After Helene, the Falconhurst community — like many neighborhoods in WNC — grew even more entwined, as neighbors gathered around the well at the small farm to collect water and share necessities, information, and good vibes. Let’s all work to make our communities and our gardens more “entwined!”

Ross Farm and Appalachian Standard are proud to present the 3rd Annual Fall Fest on Saturday, September 13 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. This highly anticipated event

Kid-friendly activities including a scavenger hunt, games, and potting station
…and much more!

Appalachian Standard will also have their quality CBD products available for purchase. With attendance typically reaching 300-600 visitors, carpooling is strongly encouraged to help with parking availability.

It’s Grateful Monday with Asheville’s very own Clouds of Delusion!
Clouds of Delusion is a band centered around Grateful Dead music and the wider catalog of jam band influence. A 5-piece band, they are fascinated by the improv, smitten with the songs and dedicated to the dance party!

JAKE KOHN
From Stephens City, Virginia, Jake Kohn is a singer/songwriter on a clear path to stardom. At only 17 years old, Jake’s unusually deep voice and songwriting ability have garnered the attention of some of his favorite artists. 2024 saw him play festivals such as Mile 0 Festival, MerleFest, Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon, and Bourbon & Beyond. In addition to a slew of headline dates, he supported Sierra Ferrell, Sam Barber, and Wyatt Flores. Stay tuned for what Jake has in store for 2025.

It is not lost on Jake that he is playing shows beyond his years. In fact, he is still awestruck when people recognize him. Whether it is signing a poster for a fan or being invited to see Tommy Prine’s release show, Jake is consistently surprised and grateful to be at this point in his 4-year career.

LOW WATER BRIDGE BAND
There’s a sound the Shenandoah River makes as it rumbles over old stones in the shallows. It sings songs the way they used to be – plain and honest. No frills, buckle that belt before you head to the hills and hollers. It’s there under a Virginia moon that you’ll find the Low Water Bridge Band.

Forged by firelight picking, the band’s romping, stomping, country-grass Americana ain’t for the faint of heart. Since their founding in 2020, they’ve gone from barnstorming the Shenandoah Valley to festival stages along the East Coast. Venues from the Carolinas to Kentucky and, yes, Nashville, Tennessee ring with their sound and are asking for more.

Steven Bingler, a New Orleans planner involved in Hurricane Katrina recovery, will share lessons to aid in Tropical Storm Helene recovery in Western North Carolina. He will emphasize the importance of inclusive community engagement, noting that recovery efforts require the active participation of everyone affected. Recovery planning must address short-term, medium-term, and long-term needs, integrating cultural, social, educational, and physical considerations. Recovery is a complex, non-linear process that should involve both community collaboration and civic determination. Local efforts, such as those in Western North Carolina, will work on immediate recovery and long-term resilience plans, underscoring the significance of collective involvement in shaping the future. Join us for a reception, in the lobby of the Wortham Performing Arts Center, after the keynote. One drink ticket will be provided per registered attendee.

On a magical night at Nectar’s in Burlington, Vermont in December of 2018, three musical masters—Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski—came together with alchemical synthesis, and created a fresh, so-tight-it’s-free sound, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special. The following spring, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each members’ surname, and reconvened back in Vermont at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with sound engineer Roger Stauss laying down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP.

Metzger, described by The Village Voice as “…an ace guitarist of a thousand styles,” and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde.

Retreat leader, educator and Jungian psychotherapist Diana McKendree leads a discussion exploring the world of dreamwork and how we might better understand our dreams. Part of Kanuga’s Lunch & Learn series, the Thursday, September 18 event begins with a forest bathing nature walk (weather permitting) at 10 a.m. McKendree’s “What Did You Dream Last Night?” discussion begins at 11 a.m., followed by a buffet lunch in Kanuga’s dining hall. Bring a recent dream, notebook and pen. Registration and more info at kanuga.org/events.
