Walk to a rocking New Year’s Eve

Two blocks to a rockin’ New Year’s Party – Our treat

Weaverville’s Inn on Main Street has always been a great place to stay during the holidays.

We have five rooms with fireplaces, romantic whirlpool tubs for two and a flexible breakfast schedule. We’re on the way to the tubs and massages at Hot Springs Spa, yet only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville.

But New Year’s Eve has always been a problem for us because our guests who want to party at midnight had to take a cab to Asheville or stay sober, and snow could complicate the trip.

We’ve always had restaurants open a stroll away, but they tended to quit serving around 9 p.m.

This year, Jack of Hearts Pub, which is only about two blocks from here, will have its rockin’ hometown Cajun band, Jackomo, playing until well after midnight. We’ve arranged to set aside tickets for our guests, and we’ll pick up the cover charge. You can choose to eat dinner at the pub, or stroll a bit farther down the street to Glass Onion for some fine Italian fare. We can make your reservations.

Who needs a designated driver when you’re only two blocks from your room? And snow? Forget about it. Book directly with Dan or Nancy, or online.

Red, White and Blue Bed and Breakfast in Weaverville

We’re fired up.

The Fourth of July is back in Weaverville. Gone are the days of dragging the porch furniture from Inn on Main Street into the street to watch the fireworks. The town has moved the show to Lake Louise, four blocks away. But this year the show is bigger and better than ever. Four bands will play music down by the lake all day, followed by a spectacular fireworks display.

Here’s how our town events calendar describes it:

“The Town of Weaverville will be hosting the Fire on the Lake Music Festival at Lake Louise.  The festivities will begin at 5 PM at the Lake.  Remote parking is available at AB Emblem, OTS, and in Downtown Weaverville.  A shuttle bus will be provided to transport festival goers from the parking lots to the Lake.  Handicapped parking will be available at the Lake.

“The Festival will feature peformances by Cripps Puppets, Moses Atwood, Glory on the Floor, and will feature a performance by David Holt and the Lightening Bolts!

“The event will conclude with the Town’s fireworks show!”

We still have openings for the Fourth and beyond, and hope some of this record 90-degree sizzle will cool down by then. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the show.
