News and Events

Full of mountain charm, inviting local personality, and arts and culture, Hendersonville, North Carolina, has been described as a modern day Mayberry and was voted one of the best small towns in the South by Southern Living Magazine readers. This weekend, Fourth of July celebrations will showcase the magic of the area and provide one of many opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy community festivities.

On Saturday, begin your day at 11 a.m. with the annual Independence Day Parade along Main Street. Afterwards, take some time to explore the local boutiques, cafes, galleries, and gourmet restaurants that comprise the picturesque downtown. In keeping with its Southern Appalachian traditions, the area is home to many talented artisans and enticing culinary treats. The day's events continue at 2 p.m. during the main celebration in Jackson Park, where visitors can enjoy craft vendors, a children's area, an antique car show, and live music with The Embers, who will play from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Of course, in true 4th of July fashion, fireworks will be the finale to the evening.

Holiday activities will abound throughout all of Western North Carolina this weekend, so everyone can find a celebration that suits them. Asheville, just a few minutes beyond Hendersonville, will also have a range of events, including the kick off to the 42nd summer season of Shindig on the Green, where musice fans can enjoy the traditional tunes of the Appalachians.

During the summer festival season, it's easy for people to see why life in the Blue Ridge Mountains is so appealing. The region's natural beauty in combination with its thriving and unique towns makes the mountains an idyllic vacation spot. Fox Run Preserve, a gated community offering Hendersonville real estate, works to extend vacation time into a lifestyle. With rustic amenities, secluded homesites, and convenient access to town, Fox Run gives residents reason to celebrate year-round. Now is a better time than ever to take advantage of your three day weekend to explore the many real estate offerings in the privat community.
