August 12-18 EVENTS Quick View: Here’s a look at events happening around the First Peak of the Blue Ridge from August 12-18, 2026.
Come see us this week and enjoy music, food, wine and educational events. Did we mention music and wine? Oh good, ’cause there’s lots of that happening!
Of note is the ‘Top of the Grade’ concert in Saluda featuring the Reedy River String Band on Friday evening. Find the details for this week’s events here.
Make your plans to visit Pearson’s Falls & Glen this summer and see the beauty that was revealed after the storm – the late summer wildflowers will be blooming soon for some wonderful color. 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!
