Things to do by Season

• Go snow tubing in January and February at Moonshine Mountain.

• Hit the hiking trails or take a drive on the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway in May and June.
• Visit the surrounding state forests or land of waterfalls in nearby Brevard to cool off in July and August.
• September is festival month! The North Carolina Apple Festival in downtown Hendersonville kicks the apple-craze into high gear on Labor Day weekend where crowds enjoy local crafts, entertainment, and rides for the kids. For thrill seekers, the North Carolina Mountain State Fair starts around the same time and combines agricultural exhibits with a full-fledge carnival experience.
• October and November are prime pumpkin picking and leaf peeping months when the area experiences the highest number of tourists.
• From Christmas caroling on the steps of the Hendersonville historic court house to touring the timeless decorations at the Biltmore House, the area is a winter wonderland.
