Eclipse to Premiere at Biltmore Park Town Square
Look out all of you night owls because vampires and werewolves are planning to invade Biltmore Park Town Square...at least they will on the big screen. Next Tuesday night, on June 29th, Town Square's retailers and restaurants, along with Regal Biltmore Grande Stadium 15, will welcome the much-anticipated third installment of The Twilight Saga. "Eclipse" will continue to chronicle the main character Bella's adventures in a supernatural world inhabited by a slew of creatures that usually only appear in fairytales, not in real life. But her life is far from ordinary, and these creatures, although usually depicted as villains, quickly become her friends and confidants. Still, evil and deep-seated rivalries await her around the darkest corners, forcing her to make difficult decisions about her safety, future, and friendships.
Hundreds of Twilight fans are expected to show up in order to discover just what it is that Bella will decide to do, and restaurants and retailers are looking forward to joining in on the guessing game. Complete with costumes and rivalries in our own world over whether vampires or werewolves will prevail, movie-goers can expect plenty of shopping and dining specials along with games and activities before watching the movie.
Feast on meals well-suited for heroes and heroines at Travinia Italian Kitchen, Brixx Pizza, and Hickory tavern Grill and Raw Bar, or cool down with an ice cream treat from Cold Stone Creamery while day-dreaming of Robert Pattinson. Those with an eye for fashion may find the perfect accessories at Moda, Constance Boutique, and Talloni to complement their whimsical outfits, and Twilight fans are guaranteed to find their favorite books, movies, games, and cds at Barnes and Noble.

Earlier in the night, Biltmore Park Town Square's restaurants and retailers will also be open to help fuel walkers.
