In local news, police are investigating a tragic incident on Warren Avenue after a late-night burglary left one woman dead and another man seriously injured. Authorities ask anyone with information to come forward as they work to bring clarity to a shaken neighborhood. Meanwhile, Asheville City Manager Debra Campbell has named Deputy Jackie Stepp the interim chief of the Asheville Police Department, a key move as the city navigates public safety challenges and ongoing calls for community partnerships.
On a brighter note, the Asheville Holiday Parade made its much-anticipated return this weekend after being sidelined by Helene last year. Spirits were high and the soundtrack of marching bands and local floats once again brought downtown to life. Down in Bat Cave, a restored private bridge is being dedicated today—a heartwarming reminder of the resilience and community spirit that define Western North Carolina.
Eager to get out and about? There’s plenty on tap for music lovers. Tonight, Ariel Pink will be playing at The Grey Eagle, promising an offbeat and unforgettable evening. Looking ahead, Okapi and Tombstone Poetry are on deck at Static Age Records, and Lindsey Stirling is set to take the stage just down the road in Spartanburg if you’re up for a musical road trip.
For foodies, New Belgium Brewing is hosting Blue Cardinal, serving their signature Southern fare with a twist—a perfect pit stop for a bite and a sip. If you’re hunting for more unique flavors, watch for the food trucks rolling out throughout the week, including hand-crafted pizzas and artisan hot dogs that have locals buzzing.
If you need a little fresh air or want to lend a hand, Warren Wilson College’s Twelve Baskets community engagement event runs this morning in West Asheville, offering a meaningful way to give back before the holiday. Plus, bluegrass fans should note the Bluegrass First Class event kicking off this afternoon, keeping mountain traditions alive well into the winter.
In sports, local prep athletes are making waves while Appalachian State hosts Elon in men’s basketball tonight over in Boone—a historic rivalry packed with energy. And on the business front, Pratt & Whitney has announced a major $285 million expansion for its Asheville plant. That means more jobs and a bigger spotlight on Asheville industry as we move into 2026.
Before you head out, remember that Thanksgiving is just days away. If you haven’t grabbed your groceries yet, now’s the time, as stores and city services will adjust hours for the holiday.
That wraps up your Monday. This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
