Happy Thanksgiving to all our listeners out there. Whether you're staying local or traveling today, we've got some important information to help make your holiday smoother.
If you're heading out of town on the roads, AAA is reporting that more than four million North Carolinians are traveling at least 50 miles for Thanksgiving, with over 146,000 of those heading to the airport. If you're flying, remember the golden rule: arrive two hours early for domestic flights, three hours for international. AAA recommends adding another thirty minutes to that during busy holiday weekends like this one. Asheville Regional Airport reminds travelers to have a parking plan ready before you head out, and they have a parking map on their website to help you navigate. Don't worry about the ongoing renovations at the airport disrupting your travel. Airport officials say they don't expect major delays, though you might notice some additional time needed for navigation and parking.
Now, if you're staying in town and looking for some activity this morning, head downtown to Pack Square. The twenty-fifth annual Downtown Asheville Turkey Trot is happening right now. The Gobble Wobble one-mile fun run started at eight thirty, and the main Turkey Trot five-K gets underway at nine fifteen. Here's a nice bonus for participants: metered parking downtown is completely free on Thanksgiving Day, though parking garages still charge their regular rates.
For dining options today, several restaurants throughout Asheville are open to serve your Thanksgiving meal if you're not cooking at home. However, many grocery stores and major retailers are closed, so if you need anything last minute, check ahead before you go.
In other news, we're continuing to see local businesses bounce back from Hurricane Helene. The Asheville Tea Company, which was devastated by the storm, is now producing their next batch of tea and looking for new manufacturing spaces. Founder Jesse Dean reminds us how important it is to shop local, especially this Small Business Saturday coming up, as these purchases directly support families and businesses still recovering from the hurricane.
The River Arts District is also showing signs of recovery with several studios and galleries open for visitors. Meanwhile, the North Carolina Arboretum is welcoming guests today with their Trolls field study exhibit running from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon.
City offices are closed today and tomorrow in observance of Thanksgiving, so plan accordingly if you need any municipal services.
This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
