is almost here, and you can still be one of Santa’s Important People. Visit this link to learn more and sign up.

All funds and toys collected will go to support our St. Nicholas Project store, now in its 12th year. Last year we helped more than 1,350 families with holiday gifts for their children. We’re grateful to the Smoky Mountain Toy Run folks and all who help us make this a magical holiday season for kids, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

Why should October have all the fun? It’s time to usher out the last of Autumn at our long-awaited 4th Annual Sausage Festival! A celebration of all thing’s sausage- sausage sales, sausage samples, sausage for sale off the grill, as well as hog butchery and sausage making demos brought to you by our butchery team.

WNC’s own Mountain Top Polka Band will be playing some high-octane Polka music to get your toes tapping! Since 2009, MTP has performed hundreds of events in six states around the south and southeast US, these guys are as entertaining as they are musically talented.

Family friendly games for fun and prizes, our now traditional Adults-Only-Musical Chairs Competition and both a kids and adults Costume Contest (think dirndl, lederhosen, Weiner-suit, get creative) with grand prizes of local food and activities! Local artist @FacePaintingAsheville will be there to paint faces and spread joy.

Food will be available for purchase during the event. Our crew will fire up the grill to serve up Pasture Raised Pork Sausages and Grassfed Beef Hot Dogs. Our favorite Kraut and Pickles repped by Fermenti Foods, a variety of mustards by Asheville’s own Lusty Monk Mustard, and of course Blunt Pretzels.

Can’t have sausages and pretzels without beer! We’ll be serving local beers, ciders, seltzers and non-alcoholic beverages to slake your thirst between Polkas, with a local brewery helping pour some serious pitcher specials of local suds.

A NOTE ABOUT SEATING: Our Big Barn has an official capacity of over 200- we do not have a seat for every single attendee but there will be picnic tables, cafe tables and benches available first come first serve. With this in mind, please feel free to bring picnic blankets or camp chairs. Tag!

PET POLICY: While we normally allow leashed pets on the grounds, we ask you leave your furry friends at home for this event.

The Buncombe Partnership for Children and Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty invite you to an evening for BPFC’s Reach Out and Read partnership, bringing books to children and families. Bid on great silent auction items including art, gift baskets, classes, fine food and drinks, and gift certificates. Donations are also gratefully accepted. Help meet the ambitious goal of $9,000 raised for early literacy.

Together with French Broad Pediatrics and Our Family Doctor, BPFC gives over 3,100 books per year to children ages birth to 5 at their doctors’ visits. Pediatricians use books in these appointments to encourage families to read, sing, and talk with their kids. Then each child takes a book home. For some families, these books are the only ones they have in their homes.Parents in the program are 2.5 times more likely to read with their infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. And children’s language development is improved by a whole 3-6 months by the age of 5!

Inspired by nature and following the self-published released of How to Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are, Cortina Jenelle introduces Oshanna Church of Spiritual Activism, with Oshanna debuting as a dynamic experience rooted in ceremony and inviting nature as a co-facilitator through theater, art and spoken word. After each production, all ticket proceeds are donated to a mission partner who is doing work in service to Mother Earth while also furthering truth, healing and reconciliation across race, gender and class.

Black Starseed: Immaculate Conception is the second installment of the Black Starseed series, which goes back in time as a prelude to Black Starseed: Revolutionary Reimagination (2020) – a debut partnership between adé PROJECT and PechaKucha Asheville co-creating a storytelling experience in voice of Black women at the intersection of creativity x spirituality. In this prelude, the life story of Cortina Jenelle becomes a moving memoir and an embodiment of a shared story from the matriarchs of Black, indigenous descent in a world where femininity, Blackness, sovereignty and indigeneity were not just criminal, but a threat to society. Black Starseed: Immaculate Conception may appear to just tell the story of one, yet is actually one version of the same story that constantly loops through time. Do you know how purposeful, brilliant and divine you already are, Starseed? This is heart song of the black sheep generation + millennials, and those born torn between ancestral remembrance and playing the game of life to win. Join us in a gathering of art, theater, ceremony (with a bonus book signing post-show) and storytelling and leave reminded of how to heal the planet from wherever you are.

Ticket proceeds benefit cleanup of the French Broad River with our mission partner for this show, Asheville Greenworks.
