Cheese curd alert!

Get your tickets now and stay tuned for future socials. Mirrorball Gallery brings some new magic to Tryon with a Midsummer Night’s Dream Fantasy Costume dance party. Plus we have some of our favorite reoccurring events – the Summer Tracks Concert Series in Tryon features the Get Right Band and Tryon International hosts a national championship for Vaulting – ‘gymnastics on horseback’ – it’s really something to see! Find the details for these events here.
Of course, there is plenty of live music and wine events surrounded by gorgeous mountain scenery, plus summer farmer’s markets full of local produce – all listed here in our weekly schedule.
Make your plans to visit Pearson’s Falls & Glen this summer and see the beauty that was revealed after the storm – it’s really lovely. Visit their web site for information, FAQs and ticketing details. Admission has changed – they are open Thursdays-Saturdays with 3 timed entry slots – space is limited and advance tickets are required. You’ll be delighted by the new experience!
