Asheville Downtown After 5 Concerts

For 2025, Downtown After 5 will take place at Pack Square Park in the center of downtown Asheville.

There are three events slated for the 2025 season, and each event will be free and open to the public! Food and beverage vendors will be on-site alongside a marketplace of local artisans.

Event organizers are also introducing a Patron Preferred Access Pass. For just $90, you’ll get a chair in the exclusive preferred access area for all three events, along with one drink token per event. This is the perfect way to enjoy the concerts in style while supporting the future of this beloved series.
