Tourist Season in Asheville

When you say “Tourist season in Asheville” it can be taken two ways. Our local minor league baseball team is the Asheville Tourists and they have a season. There’s a game downtown going on right now. The score at this very moment is 4 to zero and the Tourists are winning!

They’ll have eight home games in a row starting tonight. The stadium is right on the edge of downtown and it’s so much fun. There are all kinds of special theme games. Every Thursday game is Thirsty Thursday. All beers and soft drinks are $1. Friday home games are FANtastic Fridays. You can get in for just $5 and women get a glass of wine for $1. This Sunday (May 25th) they’re having fireworks. They’ll also have fireworks on July 4th and 5th. Check out all the special games!

So, what’s the other tourist season? Oh, yeah. It’s when the volume of visitors to Asheville seems to increase. We can tell when that happens here at Lovers’ Loop Retreat. We get to meet lots of interesting people from all over. We’ll soon be hosting people from Michigan, Florida and California. Some people are coming for vacation, some are checking out Asheville as a place to move, and some are visiting relatives.

We love having the opportunity to meet people from all over. Hopefully, we’ll get to meet you! Just let us know if you have any questions about Asheville and what’s going on here. And be sure to check the Lovers’ Loop Retreat Web site to see the calendar of events. We’ve just added a lot of new events and all kinds of festivals. What a fun place to visit!
