Bele Chere
Genre: Festivals
Bele Chere Festival, on the streets of historic
Downtown Asheville, features free live music, street entertainers, arts, crafts, food and a lively
children's area. Surrounded by the natural beauty
of the mountains of
Western North Carolina, Bele Cher is always the last full weekend of July. Thousands of festival
folks for enjoy 3 days of beautiful weather, some of the best arts, crafts and music
our beautiful WNC home has to offer... and every bit of it was as free
as it is fun. Bele Chere started in 1979 and was located on a whopping three blocks of downtown Asheville. It was the brainstorm of a handful of downtown Asheville merchants and business people with the vision of revitalizing our downtown business district, which was largely abandoned as retail businesses & residents moved to the outskirts. Now, downtown Asheville is home to restaurants, galleries, retail businesses, theatres, art exhibits, and a growing number of residents who call downtown "home."
