concert goers dancing

AVLFest 2024 is just weeks away and the excitement is building for the second annual return of this landmark event. The festival celebrates Asheville’s diverse music scene with 4 days of live music. Over 200 artists playing at more than 20 different venues across the city. August 1st through the 4th, 2024 in Asheville, NC.

Asheville is known for its lively arts scene and that’s just what AVLFest celebrates. The event hosts an exceptional and vast lineup of local, regional, and national music acts. The diverse range of genres includes hiphop, rock, bluegrass, Americana, electronica, and more. Festival venues include stages, clubs, concert halls, and outdoor venues throughout downtown and across Asheville.

Last year’s inaugural event was a roaring success, with over 8,000 tickets sold. Consequently, this year’s event is expected to be even bigger!

Best of all, Bent Creek Lodge is the perfect Asheville lodging choice AVLFest attendees. Our Asheville bed and breakfast is located just south of town, on a quiet, forested lot near the NC Arboretum, with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our convenient location is just minutes from town yet surrounded by the area’s iconic and peaceful natural beauty.
