Christmas shopping should be fun! In Asheville, you can avoid tension, bad attitudes and long lines by strolling our pedestrian-friendly shopping districts and visiting independent, locally-owned boutiques and galleries. Find one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone on your list from the outdoor adventurer to the eclectic collector to the farm-to-table foodie.
Seasonal Sizzle Shopping
This December, many boutiques and galleries will extend their hours on Seasonal Sizzle Saturdays. Soak in the sights, sounds and smells of the holidays at the historic Grove Arcade, where more than 30 sugar-and-spice gingerbread houses from Grove Park Inn’s National Gingerbread Competition will be on display. Looking for stocking stuffers for the foodie in your life? Asheville’s tailgate markets are holding special day-time holiday bazaars during Seasonal Sizzle with local crafts, farm fresh produce, live music and artisan food products (see Sizzle schedule for details).
