August 6-12 EVENTS Quick View: Here’s a look at events happening around the First Peak of the Blue Ridge from August 6-12, 2025.
We’ve enjoyed a much needed break in the heat at the First Peak – now is a great time to swing by our mountain towns and enjoy a summer evening. This weekend brings both a Summer Tracks concert in Tryon and a Top of the Grade concert in Saluda on Friday evening, then the Moon Howl on Saturday at FENCE where there’s plenty of room to dance under the moon. Wine tastings, live music, game nights and art/craft classes round out the schedule. Check out this week’s schedule. Use our online calendar to plan ahead.
While you’re here, explore our 3 small town main streets of Tryon, Saluda and Columbus or – thanks to the rain – have an adventurous time tubing on the lower Green River. Stay at a vacation rental on top of a mountain with an up-close view of the stars. We’re here to help you find the perfect spot – whether it’s on a small town main street or in the country. Reach out! 828-894-2324. email us.
Our web site is a helpful a planning tool for lodging and things to do. Check out our latest restaurant guide with hours and information, organized by town so you can plan your day.
We’ll see you soon!
