One of my personal favorites for FREE summer music in the Asheville area takes place at UNCA. Get ready for the 27th Annual Concerts on the Quad June 15 – July 13. It’s a great family event — bring a blanket, chairs, picnic baskets, frisbees, and get ready to enjoy great music in a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. No pets allowed, and if it rains the music will move indoors to Lipinsky Auditorium. Click here for the complete lineup. The music begins at 7 p.m.
Set your calendar for June 6, 2009 for a fun FREE family event at the Folk Art Center. Clay Day runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event features demonstrations of throwing on the potter’s wheel, hand building and surface design. There are hands-on activities for kids and adults.
I’m already strategizing about how to keep the kids entertained for part of the summer. I just found a great deal that makes it a little easier.
Selected Regal movie theaters, including two in Asheville: the Beaucatcher 7 and the Biltmore Grande Stadium 15, will offer FREE G and PG rated movies on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the festival.
All the details are listed here. The FREE movies begin at 10 a.m.
