Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for December 1, 2025. The holiday spirit is in full swing across the city, with festive events lighting up every corner. If you're looking for a cozy night out, head to the Tina McGuire Theater tonight for Hawaiian Christmas with CarolinAloha featuring Billy Cardine. It's an intimate show with cocktail table seating and a bar, so grab a drink and enjoy some island-inspired holiday tunes. For those who love a classic with a twist, Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol is playing at the Diana Wortham Theatre, bringing a heartwarming Appalachian spin to the Dickens tale.

Over at the Grove Arcade, the annual Tree Lighting Block Party is already drawing crowds, with families enjoying lights, music, and the official kickoff to the season. And if you're in the mood for shopping and local art, don't miss the Sip & Shop event at Grovewood Gallery this Friday and Saturday, where you can browse unique gifts and enjoy some holiday cheer.

For a more traditional holiday experience, the Historic Johnson Farm is offering guided Christmas tours all day, with reservations recommended for the best experience. If you prefer a self-guided stroll, the farmhouse opens for drop-ins on select Fridays this month. And in nearby Hendersonville, the Flat Rock Playhouse is hosting its annual Christmas show, a local favorite for families and theater lovers alike.

On the legislative front, several new North Carolina laws took effect today, including changes to gun policies in private schools and updates to driving regulations. The minimum speed law is now in place, so keep an eye out for posted signs, especially on the interstate. There are also new requirements for SNAP recipients, expanding work and training obligations for certain groups.

If you're looking to give back this season, the Deck the Trees holiday tradition is back, running from December 5 through January 5, with beautifully decorated trees around Black Mountain and Swannanoa. Vote for your favorites by donating, and every dollar supports the Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry's Fuel Fund, helping neighbors stay warm this winter.

Finally, New Belgium Brewing is hosting its BIPOC Farmers Market this Sunday, supporting local farmers and artisans. And for those who love food trucks, Blue Cardinal is serving up Southern fare with a twist tonight at the brewery.

This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
