What to do for Halloween in Asheville NC

Hey there this is my spooktacular second installment of a short series focusing on what to do around Asheville, NC this Halloween season. In the last blog we looked at two of the best trick or treat haunts and talked briefly about events. This time I want to talk more specifically about events. Three in particular that seem to focus on fun for the whole family.

One I want toalk about is the MONSTER Jam out at Hickory Nut Forest. This event features family entertainment in the form of costume contests, pumpkin carving, guided trail treasure hunts, and more. I think the two chief strengths of this Halloween event is that its location is stunning, nestled out in the mountains of Gerton outside Asheville the setting couldn't be more alluring. Secondly, the MONSTER Jam is set for Sunday the 26th, leaving Halloween itself open to explore more of the community events. Another exciting event is held out in Brevard on Halloween day; this event is the Tranysylvania Countys contribution to the season; it features a costume parade, bike rodeo, pumpkin carving and lots of Halloween fun, lastly I wanted to mention the Ghost and Goblins in the Gardens event which takes place on the 28th. This sounds awesome with costumed guides and spooky Halloween characters along the way as you make your way through UNCA's Botanical Gardens.

I hope to see you all out there at these events and in the neighborhood trick or treating this Halloween in Asheville, NC.
