The short course brings a unique and fun style of racing to the Charlotte area – short-track mountain bike racing on a 3/4 mile trail with banked turns. It’s a cross between a criterium, BMX, cyclo-cross and single-track, super fast and spectator-friendly. Charlotte Sports Cycling and the Tarheel Trailblazers have worked hard to create a trail that’s exciting for the race participants and spectators. Participants, based on category, will race 15 to 25 laps on the fast course. All of the events will be held at Renaissance Park. We plan to have food, an event photographer, and music at all of the events.

Winter can be the most beautiful time of the year at Chimney Rock. Leafless trees make for expansive views of Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. The sky is clear; you’re likely to find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the peacefulness. You may even see a critter scamper by you in the forest. Capture that special moment or scene on your camera, enter it in our Winter Wonders Photo Contest and tell us about it. We’ll use the winning entries on our website and Facebook album, and you’ll win some fun prizes. Photos must be taken within the Chimney Rock section of the Park.

Cost: No additional cost to enter.

It’s that time of year once again! Cold weather is in the air, frost engulf’s the dawn’s landscapes, fires are burning in the homes of many, and beers get… DARK! Which means that the inevitable reality of winter will soon lead to the momentous occasion at Pisgah Brewing known as… STOUT HOG DAY!!

The 10th Annual Stout Hog Day will kick off at 11am on Sunday, February 3rd, and will feature a taproom full of stouts and darks with some of Pisgah’s finest darker brews as well as a special collection of local and sought after stouts.

A new tradition was born in 2014 as the staff of Pisgah Brewing decided to add a fulfilling twist to the day by starting off with the Brewer’s Breakfast, a full early afternoon of free pancakes for all (while supplies last) prepared by the brewers and staff themselves for their loyal fans. Mountain View BBQ & Deli Food Truck will be on hand serving up breakfast sides and specialties to go along with the pancakes, so come hungry!

And what’s Stout Hog Day without the official Stout Hog Day house-band, Chalwa! Reggae vibes from the local roots-rockers will begin around 2pm on the indoor stage.

Setsubun (節分) is the day before the beginning of spring in Japan.
The name literally means “seasonal division” In its association with the Lunar New Year, spring Setsubun can be and was previously thought of as a sort of New Year’s Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come.
