Hilton Garden Inn Asheville South is bringing local musicians to its outdoor entertainment area every Friday evening from August 28 through October 23, 2026. The series is free and open to hotel guests and the public, with music, food, and drinks by the fire pits at one of South Asheville’s most popular gathering spots.
Each show runs 6:00–9:00 p.m. at the hotel’s 5,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, located at 9 Rocky Ridge Road, adjacent to the Asheville Outlets and just minutes from the Biltmore Estate. Guests can enjoy dinner, cocktails, and craft beer from the Garden Grille & Bar while taking in the music under the stars.
“Our outdoor entertainment area was designed to bring people together, and this fall lineup does exactly that,” said Ray Anderson, Director of Sales. “Whether you’re staying with us or just stopping by after a day at the Outlets or Biltmore, we wanted to give the community a reason to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy some great local music every Friday night.”
