BRAND
NEW LAYOUT!
It’s not just our website that looks different – the festival
will too! We are a little smaller in 2009 than we used to be. And welcome
to the Asheville Civic Center! Bele Chere spreads indoors for our Food
Lion Children’s Area, Senior Oasis presented by PSNC Energy and
more. Take a look at our new layout
here.
Attention Local Merchants and Food Vendors: Please join us on Wednesday, June 24th at 3PM in the Public Works Building (at the corner of Eagle & Charlotte Streets) to have your questions answered. Representatives will be on hand from ALE, Buncombe County Health Department, Police, Fire, Bele Chere Board of Directors and City of Asheville Festival Staff. Topics will include downtown establishments selling alcohol, overcrowding issues, and health regulations for food vendors.
