July 22-28 EVENTS Quick View:  Here’s a look at events happening around the First Peak of the Blue Ridge from July 22-28, 2026. We’re so happy to share the news that Pearson’s Falls & Glen, our wonderful private nature preserve near Saluda, is reopening on Friday, July 24 after a 20-month closure for repairs following Hurricane Helene. The creek found a new path and they listened, creating a new trail to the waterfall filled with scenic spots.  It’s even more lovely now!  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! Check out this week’s happenings, with lots of music and wine events, plus summer farmer’s markets full of local produce – all listed here in our weekly schedule.
