December 31 – January 6 EVENTS Quick View: Here’s a look at events happening around the First Peak of the Blue Ridge from December 31, 2025 – January 6, 2026.
Happy New Year! Hope you’re enjoying the holidays. If you’re looking for a way to ring in the new year here in the mountains, then we’ve got a lot of fun and festive New Year’s Eve celebrations – including some with less traditional timing, like Noon Year’s Eve and Tryon Midnight (with a ball drop at10pm – pictured above). Check them all out here and make your plans.
If a cozy night in is more your style, then we’ve got the luxurious inns and a wide variety of vacation rentals to suit the occasion. Get some takeout (here’s our current restaurant guide to help with your choices) and enjoy the quiet.
Either way, start the new year with a late breakfast in one of our historic small towns (Tryon, Saluda and Columbus), then get some fresh air with a walk along one of our scenic trails. There’s more to do in the new year and beyond – you’ll find those events in our online events calendar.
We’re happy to help you find an experience for the day or a place to stay. You can message us on Facebook.
Cheers!
