This Friday through Sunday, July 27 to 29, Asheville will hold a popular street festival called Bele Chere. Each year, a huge section of downtown Asheville is closed. Booths line the streets. Vendors sell food, crafts, and all sorts of things. Stages are set up around town so you can listen to music from various artists.
If you are thinking about attending the festival, be warned: leave your furry friend at home. Dogs are not allowed into the festival. You really should not bring them even if you could. The temperatures are always hot, making the pavement unbearable for sensitive paws. Food and other trash litter the streets and would end up in your buddy’s belly.
Drink plenty of water if you want to attend. Let your buddy relax at home.

Bele Chere Travel Tip
Bele Chere is a large street festival held in downtown Asheville. This year, the festival starts on Friday, July 29, and ends Sunday evening.
The festival always draws a very large crowd. While Asheville is generally very pet friendly, your pets are banned from the festival. Please be sure to leave your pet at home if you want to attend the event.
The organizers will have a “doggie jail” near the City’s jail where you could leave your pet. However, I really do not recommend it. The weather is always blazing hot this time of year. They set up misting stations at various points, if that gives you an indication.
And, like clockwork, we always have a terrible thunderstorm, almost every year, on Sunday afternoon. It is God’s way of washing away the grime, feces, and urine from the weekend event. (Can you tell how much we hate the festival?)
So, feel free to join in the “fun” of Bele Chere. Just leave your little buddy at home.
