Love Local Asheville

@AshevilleGrown

Asheville Grown + the City of Asheville have paired up to devote a full eight days in February to celebrate loving our city.

Go Local Week, which began on Saturday, will run through Feb. 17.

Dozens of local businesses are having special deals, focused around themes: Shop Local (today), Eat Local (Wednesday), Love Asheville Artists (Thursday), Love Asheville’s Public Spaces (Friday), Party Like a Local (Saturday).

Tomorrow is Pack the Hall, where Ashevillians are invited to head to the 2nd floor of City Hall at 5 p.m. for the Go Local Week Proclamation by Mayor Manheimer + then head to Asheville Wine Market (65 Biltmore Ave).

Today’s Shop Local deals? 20% off Duncan & York, 20% off at King Daddy’s, 30-60% Zest Jewelry, 10% off Asheville Raven + Crone, and more.
