Downtown is sure to be bustling this evening and through the weekend, as Asheville hosts the Ingles Southern Conference Volleyball Championships for the first time as a neutral-site event at Harrah’s Cherokee Center. The action begins today and runs through Sunday with VIP courtside and general admission tickets available, so if you’re a fan of high-energy collegiate volleyball, now’s your chance to cheer on the region’s best. This comes alongside big news for Asheville’s sports scene: city officials just inked a deal extending the city’s hosting of the SoCon basketball championships for another decade, bringing long-term economic and tourism wins for everyone local.
On the government beat, Asheville City Council made headlines by vetoing a hotly debated Haw Creek rezoning plan that would have added dozens of new homes and a floodplain bridge. The decision follows major neighborhood pushback, leaving housing advocates frustrated about delays in addressing Asheville’s ever-present affordability challenge. Meanwhile, the council released a joint statement this week with county commissioners, reaffirming that local law enforcement does not participate in federal immigration enforcement activities and urging everyone—especially immigrant communities—to know their rights and stand together.
For a change of pace, the North Carolina Arboretum continues to host the interactive exhibit Snow: Tiny Crystals, Global Impact in the Baker Exhibit Hall, running through early January. It’s an engaging way for families to explore the science of snow and climate change. Tonight, stop by the Community Engagement Market at 40 Coxe Avenue for food, health services, and resources, or drop by the Senior Opportunity Center for exercise, games, and fellowship if you’re looking for social connection. Ticket-holders can catch a performance of The Shark is Broken, an acclaimed comedy at Asheville Community Theatre, delving into the hilarity and drama behind the scenes of the original Jaws movie.
With the holiday season getting underway, keep an eye out for the Lake Julian Festival of Lights Walk-Through Night coming up next week and ice skating at Highlands opening today for winter fun seekers willing to take a short road trip. And for basketball fans, the UNC Asheville Bulldogs will be back at Kimmel Arena next Tuesday night for a home faceoff against Tennessee State.
That’s your Asheville Local Frequency for today. However you choose to spend it, Asheville sure has something to keep your spirits bright. This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
