You asked, we’re answering. A new and improved AVLtoday events calendar is here.

Or maybe you didn’t realize we even had an events calendar — consider this your ticket to the most fun and relevant events in Asheville, including:

As Ashevillians ourselves, we love making sure that AVL has access to the most robust, relevant, and hyperlocal events calendar possible. In part, we rely on readers like you to keep us in the loop — start submitting your events now. (If you want to promote an upcoming gala, race, or fundraiser, we also have paid partnership options for everything happening locally.)

In addition to the hundreds of events that you can discover each month on our website, each issue of our newsletter features a dedicated events section, with our curated editorial picks for the upcoming week, organized by day. Keep scrolling just a little bit and you’ll see what we mean. Pro tip: click the link to see our full calendar if you want to start planning ahead.

Want to know which events we’re most excited about? Your friendly neighborhood City Editors (👋 that’s us, Brook + Laura) can often be found out and about at the newest restaurant openings, craft markets, festivals, and fairs — see what we’re up to in the Wrap section at the bottom of each newsletter or by following us on Instagram @AVLtoday. Bookmark your best events for September here.
