All day, guests have been arriving at the Hilton Asheville and other hotels across the region for their long weekend visits, and Biltmore Park Town Square has been humming with building anticipation for a fun-filled few days.
Moda and Constance Boutique's windows are full of the newest trends in women's fashions and offer beautiful options for those seeking to update their style with the help of local shops. Sparrow Spa, Sensibilities, and Natural Impressions are all happy to assist in helping you relax this weekend, too. Consider a pedicure to help get your feet sandal-ready, or indulge in highlights for a fresh summer look.
Apart from the shoppers, Biltmore Park Town Square will also be full of the sounds of Skinny Legs and All, a local Asheville band recently made famous by the lead singer's appearance on American Idol. The concert, which is free and family-friendly, is a perfect way to spend a Saturday evening. The band will perform at Cecil Park from 7 to 9 p.m. in front of Brixx Pizza and Hickory Tavern Grill and Raw Bar.
If grilling out or making a homemade meal sounds a bit too taxing for a weekend off, consider dining out instead. Biltmore Park's restaurants offer plenty of traditional Fourth of July fare. Cold Stone Creamery is happy to serve up a red, white, and blue treat, and Hickory Tavern Grill and Raw Bar as well as 131 MAIN Restaurant offer delicious selections that include old-fashioned hamburgers and more. After dinner you can even walk over to the Regal Biltmore Grande Stadium 15 to catch the latest hit film.
Of course, if you are preparing for a camping adventure this weekend, Town Square can help you there, too. REI has all of the gear you need for your time outdoors and is more than happy to assist you in finding the supplies that you need. They'll even offer safety tips for your trip. Whatever you do this weekend, be sure to relax, be safe, and have a wonderful holiday.
