Black Mountain Blues is more than a Music Festival – we are dedicated to honoring the deeply rooted history and influence of the Blues on Americana Music and U.S history. The Blues is a testament of the human condition expressed through raw truth. These emotions expressed range from injustice, heart-break, triumph and love. The Blues is a narrative of resilience and is the root of many popular genres of music such as R&B, Jazz, Hiphop and Rap.

The 2024 Black Mountain Blues experience is a collaborative effort between LEAF Global Art and White Horse Black Mountain – two non-profit organizations dedicated to connecting communities through music and culture-keeping initiatives. The Black Mountain Blues artist line-up showcases a carefully curated representation of Delta, Memphis, Chicago, Texas, Piedmont and Female Blues musicians who will take the stage across varies venues in downtown Black Mountain, NC.

Tickets are $23 in advance, $30 day of show, and kids under 3 get in FREE!

Participating in a triathlon is an exhilarating journey that promises not only physical challenges but also personal growth and a profound sense of accomplishment. The Tri Local Duo was developed not only to elevate this challenge, but foster a community of encouragement, training and support. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a novice looking for a transformative experience, the Tri Local Duo welcomes everyone.

The Tri Local Duo Series consists of the following Western North Carolina triathlons:

Hendersonville Triathlon | June 15, 2024
Asheville Triathlon | July 21, 2024

Embrace the opportunity to conquer your doubts, break through limits, and become a part of a supportive community of like-minded individuals.

iDaph Events has teamed up with iDream Athletes Foundation and other local, multi-sport community leaders to create and bring to you the Tri Local Community. We will be offering triathlon clinics, group training opportunities, a community to find training partners, pre-race course re-cons, transition zone coaching and of course two amazing, local triathlon events.

HOW TO JOIN:

To be eligible to attend the offerings and to participate in the Tri Local Community happenings, participants must sign up for the new TRI LOCAL DUO Series by registering for BOTH the 2024 Hendersonville Triathlon and the 2024 Asheville Triathlon. After you register for both events, you are automatically entered into the TRI LOCAL DUO Challenge.

Participate either virtually or in-person (or a combo of both.) We are offering this option for those of you that may have other events/vacations/family happenings on the race dates that might prevent you from attending in person but you want to be part of the new series and the community! If you participate virtually, you will race the distances wherever and whenever you want to and submit your results online.

All participants that are in the TRI LOCAL DUO Series will have exclusive access to all the fun and informative offerings coming up this winter/spring/summer. Due to limited resources and availability, ONLY participants that are registered for both of the 2024 Tri Local races are eligible to be part of the Tri Local Community and its offerings.

At the Asheville Triathlon on July 21st, participants that have completed both races will get a super cool and unique Tri Local Duo medal to commemorate their experience.
