Book Asheville NC Lodging Now for Bele Chere
2009 marks the 31st year of Bele Chere (July 24-26, 2009), one of the largest free outdoor street festivals in the Southeast, and visitors from all over the country and beyond flock to the event each year, so the local advice is to book your Asheville NC lodging for the popular weekend now while you still can.
Bele Chere’s draw can be attributed to how well it caters to a full range of interests. Festivalgoers can enjoy live music on four stages over the three-day weekend. The event also features all kinds of arts and crafts booths, and kids’ entertainment and activities.
For 2009, the festival has announced that all musical performances will be free. Unlike previous years, this Bele Chere will not have gated concerts. Tickets will not be required for any musical performance. With all the free music, Asheville NC lodging is likely to fill up with reservations early.
There’s a new twist for music lovers and local bandsThe Last Band Standing: Road To Bele Chere 2009 Battle of the Bands presented by Bele Chere and WNC magazine. The winner plays live at Bele Chere.
