This weekend is a big one in Asheville! On Saturday evening at 8 p.m. our fourth Masterworks concert of the season will take place in Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.Saturday and Sunday (2/10-11) the sold-out Fed Cup tennis competition will take place at the U.S. Cellular Center’s ExploreAsheville.com Arena. Some traffic and parking impacts are expected due to Fed Cup events, and we want to make sure you’ve got all the info.
Most importantly, please allow plenty of time to find parking and make your way to Thomas Wolfe Auditorium prior to the 8 p.m. ASO concert.
The City of Asheville has created a web page of information to help people navigate getting to and from downtown during this weekend. Key points of note for ASO patrons include:
